Christmas is more than a time of year. Santa is part of that no matter what your age. It is a time of joy, wonder, giving and sharing. A time to spend with friends and family. The sight of Santa walking into the room brings smiles to people's faces. Children giggle and laugh with happiness. Adult's become children again, filled with the wonder and magic of Christmas. People forget about their problems, even for a moment, as they recall fond memories. You will love to have Santa participate in your Christmas festivities with children and adults, as magic fills their hearts, and they are filled with the wonder of the season as Santa hands out gifts, reads stories, and takes photos.
Santa David Nelson was the perfect fit for our annual craft fair event! He was professional in every way and did not break character. He took pictures with children, families, and even pets! Would highly recommend and we hope to have him back at our event next year!
Response from Santa David Nelson:

The best Santa yet! He was on time, professional and worked efficiently through a long line but still took time getting a JOLLY OLD SMILE from each kid! Definitely planning to hire him for next year! DC
Response from Santa David Nelson:
Santa thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you and all of the children. Thank you for allowing me to visit and help make your event EXTRAORDINARY!
Santa David was the highlight of the evening. With five grandboys (4 of them under the age of 5) Santa David made Christmas Eve magical for them!!!
Response from Santa David Nelson:
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Santa had a great time at the event also. Please visit my website at www.MustBeSaintNick.com. He is looking forward to visiting you in the future.
We booked Santa David Nelson for our outdoor Christmas festival and had an excellent experience. He was very easy to communicate with prior to the event, was great with the attendees of the festival, and worked with us as we dealt with weather issues. We definitely would book him again for future events.
Response from Santa David Nelson:
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Santa enjoyed visiting with everyone at the festival. I look forward to helping you to make your future events EXTRAORDINARY!
Santa David Nelson came for Breakfast with Santa and we had the most amazing interactions. We had over 50 families and 80 kids who took photos with him. He was gentle and joyful with each child, and adjusted his interactions based on their comfort level. Some children sat in his lap, some sat beside him, and some who were nervous took over Santa's chair, as Santa David peeked over the top or around the side. He was a joy to photograph. All of his interactions were authentically kind and unerringly calm. I highly recommend him!

Ryan, thank you so much for allowing Santa to visit with your family and friends. I am so glad that everyone had a good time, Santa included. Again, thank you for letting Santa help make your event EXTRAORDINARY!
Everyone enjoyed Santa’s visit. He kept the kids and adults entertained. We would use him again.
Santa David was amazing! He was such a wonderful presence at our party that I know will leave a lasting impression on our children and wonderful memories to last a lifetime! I hope to have him every year!
Santa told the children a little story about his reindeer and sleigh. Children from 1-70 were hanging on to every word.
He was the perfect Santa!
Thank you Santa Dave for making our Christmas special and unforgettable for the children.
Response from Santa David Nelson:

Santa Clause arrived on time! The kids were so surprised! Sat down and talked about his adventures as Santa!! Will book again! Amazing!
Response from Santa David Nelson:
Thank you so much for your kind review. Santa had a wonderful time visiting your family. Looking forward to future visits.
Santa David was absolutely amazing! He made sure he went around and greeted all the children. I think the adults were more excited than the little one's to be honest! Santa read the kids a story and was such a delight to have around. I Will definitely hire him again.
Excellent! We had an awesome time, we couldn't rate him any higher. David Nelson was very easy to work with and our event on Christmas Eve exceeded our expectations. Great time had by all. A memory for a lifetime!
Super fun Santa. The kids were so happy.
Santa David was fantastic. He was loved by everyone, especially the children. Best ever!

Santa David Nelson really did an outstanding job with our group of 10 kids! He told wonderful stories and the kids (ages 2 -11 years old) were completely engrossed, even the older kids! Santa David Nelson was incredibly patient with the kids, individual pictures, family pictures.
All the parents loved Santa Dave and kept asking where I found such a "real Santa."
Santa David's follow up was outstanding and he had every little detail down to help make the kids' night and Christmas season!
We LOVED Santa David and will book him again!
Response from Santa David Nelson:
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. Santa thoroughly enjoyed his visit with all of you.
Santa Dave did an amazing job for my office party!! He was on time and kept in regular contact with me to make sure everything was planned before the event. It was an all adult party, so Dave came in, joked around with everybody, told a story, and made everybody feel comfortable!! I received a lot of compliments on his performance!! Thanks Santa Dave!!
On time and very professional.
