Santa Pete

Introduction: It's all about the children. I believe all children deserve the joy of meeting Santa up close and personal. Belief in a particular religion is not required for a Santa visit. I treat all children in the same gentle, respectful way, no matter their nationality, ethnicity, ability, or any other differences. I don't make promises and only say "I'll see what I can do." I note that everyone can give something to others at this time of year and how just telling a family member "I love you" can be the most precious gift of all. Santa Pete is 5'5" tall, 245 lbs. and has a real white beard and a round belly that shakes when he laughs, like a bowl full of jelly. The twinkle in his eye and gentle, attentive manner puts adults and children at ease. He has been a Santa for almost 30 years and has been a professional Santa for the last 16 years. He is a member of the Long Leaf Pines Santas, the Triangle Santa Buddies, and has continued to network with other Santas to be the best Santa he can be. With two custom-made suits, Santa Pete is ready to delight the wee ones and the older ones too. No stranger to the stage, Santa Pete is also a singer, songwriter, yodeler, and the leprechaun in Raleigh's Saint Patrick's Day parade.
