As a real bearded Santa, I passionately bring the true spirit of Christmas to young and old alike!
Since the Christmas Spirit of giving exists all year long, you can hire us for an occasion that requires a special gift like a birthday, new car, engagement, or a toy drive. You can have us appear in a Christmas in July event. HO! HO! HO!
Let's talk about how Santa and Mrs. Claus can help you make memories that you will cherish. A memorable event depends on communication, so we will meet and plan the special occasion. Expect to work with us for an extraordinary event. We were Top Performers for Jan. Our repeat customers include Capitol Broadcasting, North Ridge CC, and home owners.
Santa so happy is kind, patient and great with kids! Is costume and real beard is impeccable! He is the cutest Santa I’ve seen! Mrs. Claus was such a great addition to my event! She helped make sure Santa was put together and comfortable and she entertained other children while they waited. I hope to work with them again next year!
Would highly recommend SantaSoHappy and Mrs. Claus. Everyone at the event had nothing but compliments. Had a great time and will do it again.
SantaSoHappy was very engaging with the guests, and everyone had a great time vising with Santa while eating Brunch at the restaurant.
He spent time with the kids getting them to talk. He was very friendly and professional. Wonderful experience.
I highly recommend this couple, we had them for a office party and they are wonderful, Santa is so good with the kids and Ms Claus is as well.
SantaSoHappy and Mrs. Claus, are the real deal! As a festival and holiday event producer, we have worked with many, and we are so thrilled with the performance that SantaSoHappy provided in front of five thousand people! The photos that we have of the children as they approached him are priceless. You can see the wonder in their eyes, and it's easy to tell that they truly believe they are seeing Santa Claus. Alan and Gina are fantastic to work with. They are very professional, lovely people.

As SantaSoHappy, Santa Alan Happ will delight, entertain, and spread Christmas cheer any time of the year.
With different skills, Santa Alan brings out the spirit of Christmas in children of all ages. Children eagerly jump up on his lap to share their wishes and secrets. He is an experienced listener and reader of holiday stories. He can spark imagination with stories about the reindeer, elves, and other citizens of the North Pole. Do you know the story of how Tadon helps Santa every year? In his workshop, Santa Alan carves magical pencils that instantly transmit whatever is written to the elves in the North Pole. Although not a clown, he can wrangle a balloon into reindeer and other creations from his bag.
Santa Alan can appear for a home or corporate holiday party. (He is not available on Christmas eve because, well, he is out sleighing the world!)
Have you ever invited Santa for breakfast?
Wouldn't a holiday pajama party be the best ever if Santa came to read a bed-time story?
He can also arrange for professional photographs by JandS Photography (Durham, NC and national).
Santa Alan Happ is a husband, dad and granddad. Mrs. Claus is a wife, mom, and grandmother.
He is a member of the renewed Triangle Santa Buddies and the renowned International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas.
Alan has a history of volunteering at Duke and UNC Hospitals as a storyteller and laughter leader. He was certified as a Laughter Leader by the World Laughter Tour and led the Triangle Laughter Club. He has made presentations on laughing (for the health of it!) to adults at Rotary, Toastmasters, senior centers, churches, and retirement homes.
He has taught religious education for primary grades and psychology at the university level. He has multiple patents, publications in journals and trade magazines, and presentations for industry, corporate, and social organizations. As a human factors psychologist, my primary clients were computers and their users, designers, and programmers.
He can arrange for professional photographs by JandS Photography.

J and S Photography provides portrait photography of children, families and seniors in the Triangle area and nationwide. Ask about how many Santas get their pictures from JandS.
Santa Alan is a member of the Ambassadors of Christmas Cheer.
This group plays Christmas tunes and happy, holiday songs on ukuleles with support from mandolin and percussion.
Ask about inviting the group out of the Christmas season.
| Mrs. Claus (Optional) | Lead information gathering and child prep, wardrobe, logistics, and cheerleader. |
The lovely Mrs. Claus has always been my greatest supporter.
Every Santa should know some history of the character influenced by St. Nicholas.
The mischievous elves have provided help in the design and manufacture of toys.
Santa Alan trusts the elves but often has to give them direction. He recently had to stop production
in the Candy Cane Department which planned on using ear wax and cat fur ball flavors for this years
new batch of candy canes.
I remember once bringing a mallet and set of chisels to the son of Signore Buonarroti in Florence, Italy. That boy, Michelangelo, has inspired many artists, writers, and sculptors.
Optional: A chair with pillows.
Optional: An occasional cookie with milk :-)
