Santa Gary has been visiting Platinum Plumbing in Bloomington IL for 3 years in a row! Aside from the fact that he looks just like Santa, he is extremely communicative leading up to the visit covering all basis of fun activities and keeping the magic alive! He keeps the kids super engaged for hours by having the kids sit on his lap, snow ball fights (our personal favorite), reading stories, and coloring activities! He is extremely kind and patient. I can't say enough wonderful things about Santa Gary!

Santa Gary has attended all of my personal and professional Christmas gathering for several years now since he first started. He's simply the best in all situations. My team enjoyed having him record video messages for their children and at events for my friends he has a great sense of humor and engages them all regarding their gift requests.

We've had Santa Gary at our school and he did so well. We work with kids with special needs and outside people don't always know how to interact with our kids. Not only did he engage really well, but our kids all loved him and so did the parents that attended. I don't even like Christmas and look forward to seeing him. If Santa is real, it's definitely Gary <3

If you are looking for a Santa for your event, Gary is SANTA. He has done Christmas with our most special students for the last couple years. Best Santa ever. To see a child look into his eyes and see how he engages them, priceless.
He also has worked 2 events I am associated with. If you are an adult who no longer believes in Santa, you will believe in love, hope, kindness, and the magic of Christmas!

Not only does Santa Gary bring the magic to my child but he makes the magic alive for the adults as well. This will be the 5th year of having him do the home visits and my child talks about it all year round. If you’re looking for a Santa to come to your party or do a home visit I highly recommend Gary!

What to Expect
A genuine Santa experience. I bring tools along to have story-telling time, including the Night Before Christmas, objects from the North Pole, and even snowballs for a time to have a snowball fight with Santa (cotton, soft snowballs that are easy to clean up) Time for photo and videos to capture the memories of a Santa visit.
I will work to make the visit as personalized as possible. Providing information that Santa can use, like first names, ages, pet names, and even Elf on a Shelf's names can be provided. Santa Gary will make every possible attempt to interact in a way that brings the belief of Santa to life.
About
Believing in Santa is believing in love, light, and magic! Spread joy on Christmas by keeping Santa alive in teh hearts of children and adults like!
