Santa Jim came to our office Christmas party and was a huge hit with both the children and adults.
Santa Jim was great! Very friendly & festive.
We had a pretty big group and a lot of kids under the age of 8. Santa Jim did awesome with them, was easy to get in contact with, and made our Christmas party memorable for everyone! He took as many pictures as we wanted and made sure we were completely satisfied before he left.
Highly recommend Santa Jim for any holiday event you have. Great with the kids as well as the adults. Top Notch 👍
Santa Jim was so much more than what we expected. He was so jolly and engaged everyone in the room. The little ones all felt comfortable and wanted to talk with him. It was so cute. His smile and laugh filled the room and made the visit very festive. He made it a perfect Christmas celebration.
Santa Jim made sure our experience was just what we wanted. He handed out some gifts we provided and took a million pictures with us. He did great. We would definitely hire him again. The kids loved him.
He did a great job engaging with everyone at our party - young and old (us). :)
Santa Jim arrived on time as scheduled. He was very pleasant and spent time with each child at our Christmas Party! He took all the pictures we asked to take; individual children and families, even with the adults! He definitely was a hit at our Party!!
Response from Santa Jim:
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed serving you all and hope we can do it again! Merry Christmas!!
Everything went great!
Response from Santa Jim:
Thank you very much! It was a great pleasure serving you and your wonderful family! I'm very happy the little one became so fond of Santa after some initial hesitation!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
He was very kind and took pictures with everyone at the party. I was expecting a Santa who was a little more personal with the children as they expressed their Christmas wishes. Santa Jim was very quiet at our event. The kids loved it. I just wish he would have been a bit more jolly and fun.
Response from Santa Jim:
I am a traditional Santa that talks to the children and let’s them talk about what they want for Christmas. I engage them in conversation about Christmas. Perhaps I should have engaged with the adults in the room more; the kids did love it!
He didn't talk much. Never said Ho Ho Ho. One child said he smelled like cigarettes
Response from Santa Jim:
I don’t smoke. I’m not a smoker.
I am a traditional Santa that talks to the children and let’s them talk about what they want for Christmas. I try to engage them in conversation about Christmas. I do HoHoHo; as I enter and during. Maybe that was not heard very well in this case... the children were pretty excited during the length of the visit.
Santa Jim was AMAZING! He was so friendly and so great with the children! He brought candy canes too which won over the more bashful children. I would recommend him and look forward to his return next year!
Santa Jim was very good easy to work with!
Santa made our Christmas Eve pajama party an event to remember. Even the adults were caught up in the magic of Christmas. Thank You Santa!
I booked Santa Jim for a family Christmas gathering as a surprise for everyone. We only communicated via email as I live out of the area and I must admit I was a little nervous at first. However the more we corresponded, I realized it would be fine. He was punctual even though I kept changing the time frame, and was everything I had hoped for in a Santa and more. I hope this can become a tradition and Santa Jim will be the first person I contact!
