Santa arrived on time. Thrilled the children and adults, too! He handed out gifts, had individual conversations, read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” and took time for lots of photos. Santa was the perfect touch to our Christmas Eve!!

Thank you for including me in your holiday celebration
Santa Rick made a special visit to our charity fundraiser and was a huge hit. Well worth the investment to get him here from the North Pole at such a busy time of the year. From photos with kids of all ages, to making an appearance on stage - He was as jolly and as helpful as could be.

Response from Santa Rick:
Jeff and Crystal I just want to thank you for the privilege of being a part of a very worthy cause. It was an amazing experience for me. The talent on stage was fantastic. Who knew there was so much talented youth in the area. The kids gave it all and the audience loved it. Once again thank you very much.
Santa Rick did a great job!
He called before coming to discuss anything special we wanted. Called to let me know he was there and coming in.
This was a family event on Christmas Eve with about 20 children from the ages of 15 to 1. He was wonderful with all ages and took time to have pictures taken with all. He read the Night before Christmas and captivated adults and all children’s attention.
We had a great experience with Santa Rick!!
We were very pleased with our visit with Santa Claus! Rick was prompt and professional. He read the Night before Christmas with the children. He handed out presents, took pictures with all of the families individually.
Santa Rick arrived a few minutes early! The kiddos were mesmerized when he walked in. I sent him a little info on all the kids so he was able to distinguish who was who. And he nailed it. He builds a report with the older kids so by the time he gets to the younger timid ones they are a little more comfortable approaching him. This worked out wonderful as my great niece was initially “terrified”. But after watching her cousins she sat on Santa’s lap and told him what she wanted. He read a story to the kids. He did not rush the children and spoke to each of them. It was a great experience with Santa Rick. Even the adults got to sit on his lap for pics!
You will not be disappointed with this Santa.

Thank you so much for including me in your holiday plans. Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year
On time and prompt, Santa Rick didn’t know what he was walking into. Our party was a group of 40 yr old women looking to add some holiday cheer to our gathering. Santa Rick delivered with a short fortune cookie like reading of what each girl would encounter in the new year. That was very entertaining and they all really liked it, and oddly enough was really on point with his predictions! He gladly took pics with us and added to our banter. Thank you for being a part of our evening. One that we will not forget!

What to Expect
Plenty of opportunity for you to take pictures of the children and family members. I will pass out any gifts that you would like me to give the kids and family. I will also gather the children and read them a Christmas story.
About
I am a retired Social Worker with 30 years of experience with Children and Family Services. I have worked with children of all abilities and their families. I started out playing Santa for my granddaughter and delivering gifts for the Adopt A Needy Family program in Albany County. As well as some non profits working with under privileged families. I enjoyed this so much that I decided to be a Santa for Hire as well as my holiday volunteering. I hope you will extend me the privilege of letting me help you to make your holiday one to remember
