Overview
Christmas is a special time of year where the magic of the Christmas season rings a special bell in all of our hearts. Santa Ray will listen carefully to hear what gifts you want for Christmas. Reading Christmas stories and singing Carols with you will surely bring out the joy of Christmas. Gifts can be handed out by Santa from his large red sack, full of toys.
Santa Ray is available during the Christmas Season for family gatherings, corporate events, photo sessions, school events and any other event that would benefit from a personal visit from Santa.
Be sure to charge your camera and have plenty of film or storage space available. Precious memories included with every visit.

Santa Ray was great! He was on time and very professional. He was very in tune with the kids. He was very soft spoken and gentle. The children were so excited and everyone wanted to see Santa. I would highly recommend him!

I'm a local Photographer and was looking for a Santa for individual Santa Experience Sessions with multiple families. I had several Santa's respond and based on reviews; I reached out to Santa Ray. It was when I talked to him on the phone, I knew he was the right one! He arrived early which was awesome. He read to the kids, showed them pictures of his reindeer, let them see the sleigh bells and his magic key, and best of all got down on the floor with some of the younger kids! I loved his demeanor, kindness, gentleness and genuine heart. He had a great smile and a real Santa's laugh. I can't say enough great things about Santa Ray. Thank you!

Ray captivated the children, took as much time as every child wanted to spend with him, and oozed the kind, warm, generous spirit that Santa represents. I can’t recommend him any higher!

Santa Ray communicated with our center regularly prior to the event. He was at our site 15 minutes early. He was pleasant and very flexible with our population. Santa Ray took his time with each and every one of our participants. His service was greatly appreciated and I would highly recommend him to others. Thank you Santa Ray for making our event so special.

We had Santa Ray come in for a reading and meet-and-greet at our book shop. He was so easy to work with, taking the time to meet with me in person and review the layout of the event.
On the day of, he made an incredible entrance, jingling his rope of golden bells as he ascended the staircase. He kept the kids entertained and engaged with a magic book, readings, and carols that he sang himself (and, yes, on pitch!).
For the meet-and-greet, he paid special attention to every child, listening carefully when they brought in their Christmas lists and giving them a token signifying that they were on his nice list. He even stayed over his alloted time just so he was able to meet every child that attended the event.
You can't go wrong hiring Santa Ray as your Santa Claus!

Santa Ray was wonderful! He took his time with all of the kids as they got their pictures taken and told him what they wished for for Christmas. They loved the "Nice List" tokens!
After the event, he even waited to get his car because one family with children was on their way out too, and he didn't want to ruin the magic of Santa driving his sleigh. So sweet and thoughtful!!
Wonderful event - thank you, Santa Ray! :)

Santa Ray was awesome! We used Santa Ray for a home party with just 5 children. He was here for about 45 minutes interacting with them, which is hard to do! The kids loved his "majic" book. Thankypi Santa Ray for a wonderful afternoon making the kids feel special with extra "Santa" attention!

Santa Ray was only One out of 5 requests who responded to me with positive answer to highlight our New Year' Eve Party! He is such a nice Santa Gentleman! He arrived a little bit before Countdown, and it was the best and magical part on the evening. He had his magic book which everyone was so excited to make work. He took a time to talk to everyone, sing with us. He Made Our Night! Thank You Sooooo Much!

Santa Ray was most excellent. He has a great ho ho ho, and the kids were absolutely thrilled with his interactions. He sang carols, had a snow ball fight (fake snow balls of course) and passed out coloring books. Will definitely hire Santa Ray again. Don't hesitate to book Santa Ray for your next event. Great personality, very easy to work with. Thanks for making out Christmas event successful.

Response from Santa Ray:
Thank you Whitney for the positive feedback. I thoroughly enjoyed being the Santa at Breezewood Gardens this year. The staff were very kind and helpful to everyone and the Holiday decorations were beautiful. Santa saw some things that Mrs. Claus will be interested in so I'm sure you'll see Santa again.
Merry Christmas Whitney and I hope you find what makes you happy under, or better yet around your Christmas Tree this year.
Warmest Seasons Wishes

My husband and I had our son and daughters and our 7 grandkids in from out of state. Santa Ray got to our house and was all hohohos. The kids were so very excited. He did an amazing job. The kids and adults had such a great time. We sang and looked at reindeer pictures. He was personal and awesome with the kids. I would not think twice about hiring him again.

What to Expect
I am flexible to your needs but I enjoy the one on one with the children. The reason I do this is for the children. I love to laugh, talk with the children and ensure they are being good. I often use a photo album of Santa's reindeer letting the children browse and see real reindeer. I enjoy singing using a custom Song/Coloring book I created myself. I have received many positive comments regarding the song books. Reading stories can also be done as I have a number of holiday inspiring stories including T'was the night before Christmas. The image of Santa carrying in a sack full of toys can be achieved with your toys and Santa's bags. When I visit families in the home, I provide a copy of the song/coloring book to each child as well as a wooden token letting the children know they are on Santa's NICE list.
For me, this is not acting, it is something that comes from the heart. Those that know me as Santa Love me.

Setup Requirements
A sturdy chair placed near a Christmas tree or in a holiday setting would be helpful, one without arms would be fine, like a dining chair.
For longer engagements, a small fan pointed in the direction of Santa would be helpful as would a break after every two hours or so with a bottle of water.
