Santa Claus Richard

Typically this is something I leave up to you and the vision that you have. I have read stories, taken a ton of pictures, baked, taken naps, as well as brought Mrs Claus, presents, and of course candy canes!

I am one that is very open and very deliberate in focusing on the customer and making sure that whomever I have the opportunity to work with enjoys the magic of Christmas.

My name is Richard Appelbaum, I am born and raised in St Louis. From the time I was little, Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. As I have grown older I have been presented with the opportunity to play Santa Claus and fell in love with the magic of the holiday even more. As a result, I have continued to invest in myself, in learning more about being a portrayal artist of Santa Claus, as well as made a decision this year for the first time to become a real bearded Santa and to live the magic year round.

I have two little girls who absolutely love being my elfs (when the time calls for it) and my beautiful wife has even helped as my Mrs. Claus from time to time. While we may be new, the magic and love for Christmas and Santa is not new.

Being a relatively new Santa, I do not have any technical requirements. From years of coaching and refereeing, I have a voice that can be heard from every corner of the room naturally.
