Santa Don provided us with another Christmas Eve. The children love him and enjoy listening to the story from his magic book. Santa also gave out presents. We look forward to seeing him again next year.

Santa Don was great, he read The Night Before Christmas with his magical book, handed out gifts, took pictures with kids and adults🙂. He stayed and visited with everyone after the gifts were done. He was excellent.

Santa Don was wonderful. He was great with shy kids and walked around the room for photos with everyone. He came early and was a big hit. Would definitely have him come back next year

Kids loved him, he told the story "the night before Christmas" - was very good at having us take many many pictures with children and adults. We had a great time with Santa Don. This was our second year having him.
Santa outfit was wonderful. He is an awesome santa!!!

We were so pleased with Santa Don. The children were so excited and loved his magical book. He made our party extra special. I would highly recommend Santa Don. He was great!
Unfortunately Santa Don called a half hour before he was due to say that he was too ill to come .

Response from Santa Don:
santa don was half way to patricia's house when sickness with diarrhea hit suddenly. he did not want to get anyone else sick and pass on the germs, especially this time of year. he was soooo disappointed to not be able to spend time with the children. patricia had a great evening planned and it sounded like a great adventure. i really wish i could have been able to make the event and surprise her grandchildren. i am very upset that this happened as i don't want to disappoint any child. i love seeing the joy that i can bring to children.
again, i am soo sorry this happened.
We had Santa Don come visit three little cousins. He was great. Read them a lovely story from his magic book, handed out gifts, and was very patient even though they were a bit little and all over the place haha.
Santa Don was awesome!! We did a car parade for my daughters 3rd birthday and Santa Don came to stand out with us and wave to everybody driving by. He was so nice and would go up and say hi to all the kids driving by. He also allowed kids to get out and take a picture with him. I highly recommend Don!

Santa Don arrived on time. The children loved him. He read The Night Before Christmas with his magic book. The children were engaged. Santa gave out presents and posed for pictures with the children. Santa also wore a mask for safety. Excellent evening!!!

This man went above and beyond and made our entire holiday. He put so much effort into the planning and ensured the safety of our family. He kept up constant communication to ensure everything would go exactly as it should. Don arrived early and set everything up very quickly. He came with a festive and creative pod for pictures to still be taken while keeping safety in mind. Don brought the coolest magical book to read to the kids and a beautiful mailbox to take their letters. He was so good with the children and his sweet interactions with them made them so happy. He even gave out the gifts we had and coloring supplies from him. I am so so glad that we found Don and I truly look forward to asking him to join us again and again in the future. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for keeping Christmas alive even during these times.
Santa Don was wonderful. We had about 20 children for Christmas Eve and they loved him. He read a story, handed out presents and posed for pictures. He was very patient. The children and adults loved him.

There really is a Santa - those were the words I heard from several children at the Holiday Party on Saturday, December 20 2019. Santa Don did an excellent job. He kept the kids enterained and contained in one area when it was story time and was very approachable even with the little ones that were scare of him.
Definitely will use him again.
We love having Santa Don come and read the book and give out presents. The kids love him.

Santa Don was wonderful. He was on time and the kids loved him. There were about 20 children who sat quietly while they listened to The Night Before Christmas. He was excellent with the children and allowed as much time as needed for pictures and listening to them. He even danced with them. Excellent excellent excellent!!!

Response from Santa Don:
thank you, i am glad everyone had fun. we try to please and bring a smile to each and everyone.
happy new year
Quick response and showed up on time but not very engaging with kids - they lost interest very quickly so we actually had him leave early.
Santa Claus
Response from Santa Don:
I'm sorry that you're disappointed. I really had a great time with the kids and i thought they had a great time. I was going to suggest that next year instead of doing an hour and a half, which may be a little bit too long, to just keep it to an hour. I am open to any suggestions you may have for me. I don't want anyone to be disappointed.
