Santa joins in the fun at family gatherings and parties. He is just as at home with a four year old child as he is with a seasoned senior citizen. He always says, "Santa loves you and I always will." He loves to sing Christmas songs with people and is working on learning more Spanish. Currently rated at about 30% by the Duolingo app.
Santa Richard arrived early to our event. He was very friendly and approachable. The kids loved him. He took pictures with all the kids and mingled with them too. You can tell he loves his job. Definitely reserving him for next year.
Santa Richard was great from booking to the end of the event. He touched based with me right away after the booking and the communication throughout was excellent. He showed up on time for us to meet outside to give him gifts for his bag.
Santa Richard really looks the part - very authentic, real beard and all! He brought a book with him for the kiddos. Santa played games with the kids and made a point of connecting with each one, even the teenagers who may not believe. It was SO magical and fun.
Santa Richard knows a LOT of Santa Clause history as well, which was fun for the adults too.
Thank you, Santa Richard!

Thank you for inviting me to your event. I was able to completely forget about the troubles of the last few years and enjoy being with happy people meeting a distant friend again.
We had a party for families who have kids with special needs. Santa Richard was a pro, he was comfortable and friendly with everyone. We had great feedback from staff and families alike, and he was pleasant to work with to set up the details. Highly recommended.

At heart, Santa in Person is a wonderful, gentle, kind man - and that comes through so completely that the children knew him as Santa and the adults knew that he holds Christmas in his heart.
Response from Santa Richard:
Thanks so much for inviting me into your loving neighborhood for a brief glimpse. You folks have taken a cue from Fred Rogers. Such a treasure!
Extremely friendly and professional. Kids and adults loved him. We will definitely look for him again in the future. Thank you Santa for making the day special for everyone!
Response from Santa Richard:
Thank you so much! And thank you for introducing me to a new neighborhood in Los Angeles.
We hired Santa Richard for our school Charity event. He was Amazing! Greeted all the staff and children as if he had known us for years. Took time with all of our kids and families. Looked amazing, was on time, and just wonderful. We will have him back every year!!!
Response from Santa Richard:
What lovely and kind words. Thanks for the bottom of my heart.

My character is informed by the real Saint Nicholas and then shaped by the wonderful tales told about him after he retired from his church duties, got married, and moved North. Way up North.
For longer events, I enjoy being seated. And dancing. But not professionally, of course.
