FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Rates vary depending in date, time, location and of course type of event. Availability preferences are given to repeate customers and charitable institutions, but I work hard to meet all requests. My suggestion is to book as early as possible. Remember when Santa makes a promise to appear, he'll be there!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Being Santa requires knowing psychology, math, geography, language, magic, knowing how to tell a joke, knowing how to take a joke, knowing how to read publicly, being animated, religion, even law and first aid. Let's face it, Santa has been around for a long long time. He has to be quite knowledge about more than toys.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My Santa career actually started with a tragic event, the bombing of the World Trade Center. I became a volunteer Santa as a way of staying thanks to the families of the brave police and firemen who risked and/gave their lives to protect civilians on that fateful September day. Prior to that day, I had only been Santa for family and friends. Now I've been Santa for thousands of children.
