Santa Mike is a real bearded Santa and a member of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas. (IBRBS) I am also a member of the Mid Southern Santa Society. I am insured and background checked. Let me bring the "JOY OF CHRISTMAS" to the old and young alike, at your next special Christmas event. HO! HO! HO!
Santa did an AMAZING job! His suit is top notch and his attitude and kindness is as well. I was very concerned planning a neighborhood event during a global pandemic, and he was instrumental in the planning process to make sure that the event was safe but still enjoyable and as "normal" as possible for everyone. I really do not have enough words of praise for this Santa and I am not usually one to write reviews at all. So jolly and friendly and patient. Also, he made sure everyone got the perfect picture that they came for!!
Response from Santa Selfies:
Thank you so much Kate for your generous review. It meant so much to me that people were willing to go the extra mile in planning an event that was as safe as possible for all involved. We even managed to raise some money for St. Jude Children's Hospital. Be Safe, and have a very Merry Christmas! Santa "Cool Claus" Mike
Event was not what I anticipated
Response from Santa Selfies:
Dear Maria Kahled, I am sorry that your business Christmas event was not what you had anticipated. It is hard to give an outstanding performance when only one guest shows up for your event. I thought for the one guest that did show, I was very engaging. We took many photos together, and carried on a long conversation until he left. Both he and I tried to tell you not to be discouraged about the outcome. He said he would write an article about your business in the local magazine, since his editor sent him to cover your party. I told you that kind of free exposure was wonderful, and it could potentially reach thousands of people. When you offered me a tip, which I turned down, I left feeling like you were very happy with me. You also complemented me several times on my beautiful Santa suit. I hope when the magazine article comes out, that you will see this experience in a more positive light. I hope the New Year will bring a new boost to your cliental and business. Sincerly, Santa "Cool Claus" Mike
Selfies with Santa Mike was the perfect compliment to a holiday party. He was engaging, energetic, professional and very sweet. And he even brought his own throne! I can’t imagine the party without him. He made the night!
Response from Santa Selfies:
Thank you for your wonderful review. I can't tell you how much fun I had at your dinner party. I gave all the adults permission to be kids again, and they did not disappoint. Basically, I was just a backdrop, and their imagination became the energy that made the party.
Thanks again, Santa "Cool Claus" Mike
Seriously the best experience ever! We planned a little private Santa meet and greet + photo session for some friends and our kids, and Santa Mike was beyond thorough in helping us plan based on the kids ages, how much time we had, etc. We talked on the phone before the event and planned photos, what we'd do during the time, and more. I was impressed with that to start with, but the experience was even better! Santa Mike is tall with a real beard and is boisterous with a few ho ho ho's, but otherwise very gentle and approachable for the kids. He was so creative in ways to get the kids to warm up to him, and in the end, ALL the kids, a lot of who at first didn't want anything to do with him, were sitting with him! He played cars and trucks with the little kids, read The Night Before Christmas, and he even planned some "reindeer games" and picked up reindeer antlers for all the kids on the way over. All of the kids had a total blast, and we'll be doing this every year! He even stayed late and worked with me to get these beautiful darker shots (with the light coming off the book), which I will treasure forever and likely print on a giant canvas! We tried to tip him and he wouldn't even let us - he said that us having great photos was all he wanted. We are just still so happy about how the event went - I don't think it could have gone any better at all. Santa himself is a photographer, so he knows just how to pose and when to get those perfect shots, and I was so impressed at how patient he was with me in getting specific looks (I'm a food photographer, so studio lighting is not my thing!). Thank you SO much to Santa Mike (Santa Selfies!), and we'll see you again next year!

Thank you so much for the generous review. I think I had more fun than the Kids. Do I have the parents permission to use these Photos on my website and for promotions? www.CoolClaus.com Some of the other Santas would like to see a video of the "Raindeer Games, if anyone happened to record that. "Good wishes to you and all, for a very Blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Santa Mike

Santa Mike's speciality is getting that "First Picture with Santa." Just recently in Gatlingburg, TN, I had a boy, about four years old, who would barely make eye contact with me. Before it was all over, I had him helping me take a picture of his mother in the sleigh. The last picture taken was with him in my lap, in the sleigh, with all his brothers and sisters. If I have enough time, I can almost always get that special "First Picture."
I have a number of good Christmas books to read. I can play guitar and sing if requested. I have a good sense of humor, which adds to the fun and joy for adults and young alike.
Santa Mike loves to bring great joy to children of all ages from young to old. I am a real bearded Santa with a customized Santa Suit. My belt buckle is inscribed with the latin phrase “Lumen Christi” which translates to “Light of Christ.” We are all reflections of the “Light of Christ,” and who better to reflect this than Saint Nicholas. After all, "Jesus is the reason for the Season."
Santa Mike has been Virtus trained, and when I am not making toys or supervising elves, I help out at church and school keeping everything running smooth. Santa Mike has a lifetime of experience being around kids. Let Santa Mike bring joy to your special Holiday event. Remember, Christmas comes only once a year!
I've always loved being around kids. I was even one, once myself. I've coached different sports teams through the years. I used to get baloons off the ceiling at the mall, when I was a teenager, and give them to little kids. I have often entertained the thought of Santa.
When I do something; I do my best to do it right. That is why I am a member of the "Mid Southern Santa Society." I am a real bearded Santa, and a member of the "International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas." (IBRBS) I am insured, and background checked. I have a customized Santa Suit, and just recently obtained an "Old World Suit."
I used to play guitar and sing in a folk group at church for about 30 years, so I am used to being in public situations. I work at a private grade school , so I am used to being around children. I have attended Santa classes at the ten year reunion in Branson, MO, where almost a thousand Santas appeared. I have attended three major Santa schools, and also attended classes at the IBRBS convention in Denver. There is not much that I have not done as Santa. I have made it a practice to give 20% to charity every year, so give me a try, and you will be helping others also!

Saint Nicholas!
A nice chair near Christmas decorations is always good. If event is held indoors, a fan is also nice to have.
