Santa in the Lou

Christmas may be celebrated specifically on December 25th each year, and the season maybe a month or two. However, in my heart (and outward appearance) I am Santa 24/7 and try to live it 365 days a year. As Santa, I strive to always demonstrate and live the virtues in keeping with the Spirit of Christmas: Faith, Love, Hope, Generosity, and Sharing.

"He errs who thinks Santa enters through the chimney. Santa enters through the heart." Charles W. Howard, 1937

My goal as Santa is to create magical memories boys and girls of all ages: for you, your family and friends, or maybe fellow employees, or the community as a whole. For the younger kiddos, the objective is to help them believe in all-things Christmas and display the virtues of the Christmas Spirit. Now, for those boys and girls that may be a bit more, let’s just say, “advanced in age,” the goal is to reawaken that child-like faith and re-create those lasting moments of Christmas’ past.

Santa in the Lou is available for any type of event or activity in the greater St Louis Metropolitan Area. My wardrobe contains several types of suits, (formal and informal) so we can find the perfect one for your event. The summer Hawaiian shirts grab a lot of attention and stares.

Sure, a cool majestic red suit, a real white beard, and a belly that shakes like a bowl full of a jelly is a start, but it takes more than that in “becoming Santa.” While I have fun and love to laugh and joke around, I take the concept of “becoming Santa” very seriously. I am a graduate of the Charles W Howard School of Santa – the oldest Santa school in the world (and known universe) and considered the Harvard of Santa Claus schools. I continue to hone the craft and stay up-to-date in “all-things” Santa and Christmas. I am a member of several Santa organizations or societies including the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santa’s. An annual background check is conducted each year and available for your review and peace of mind. Further, I carry insurance for every ones protection.

It is not just a pleasure but also a privilege being your Santa Claus each and every day of the year in the Greater St Louis Metropolitan Area. Santa in the Lou serves not only St. Louis County/City, Missouri, but surrounding counties as well including St Charles and Jefferson on the Missouri side. Santa’s sleigh can fly across the Muddy Mississippi for the Metro East Counties in Illinois as well.
Let’s make the Christmas Season year-round! It may be a birthday party for Santa (His birthday is March 15th and was born back in the year 0270!); a Half Way to Christmas Party in June; a Christmas in July activity; birthday or children’s party; corporate event; or any event or activity your imagination can conceive – Santa in the Lou can be there!

Ya never know when or where you will see Good Ole St. Nick! While I may not be wearing my majestic red suit or royal robe, you may find me in more casual Santa attire and colors. Of course, the beard and belly is always there. I see the smiles and looks of amazement from kids of all ages. Often, our gazes meet up and not a word is necessary – they know! They still may ask: “Are you the real…” before they utter the final word I display the “official” Santa ring, or flash my North Pole Sleigh Badge, or even my International Sleigh license as further proof. Then it’s my turn to ask them a question: “Ya think they give these to just anyone!” More than likely, I have a Santa token or sticker to give them and wish them a Merry Christmas no matter the time of year!

Santa Flash. Santa may just appear all fully decked out in his grandiose suit or maybe in his summer’s hippest Hawaiian shirt at an unplanned event or business or store. He might even lead a Christmas song – jump on in and join him to help spread the cheer of Christmas. Take a picture or maybe a selfie with Santa!
