All About Santa Claus of Tulsa

 

• My beard and hair are real, and so is my round little belly.
• We are members of IBRBS, an International organization of Santas and Christmas Performers. We are both members of Oklahoma Santas, participating regularly in professional performance development and supporting other Claus ambassadors.
• Our Claus lives began in 2013 when I was asked to play Santa for a Christmas card photo shoot for a couple of local paramedics. We shot the photos in Mohawk Park on a 24-degree December morning with four inches of fresh snow on the ground. It was so much fun! When we saw the photos, we knew I needed to get my own suit and embrace the Claus in myself.
• My favorite part of being Santa is seeing the twinkle of joy on children's faces. I love to peer out from behind this white-as-the-snow beard at children old and young.
• We specialize in working with your to create joy by engaging our audiences in song, dance, games, storytelling and memorable photographs. We are insured and maintain current background checks for your peace of mind.

• A final thought: When I began this, I saw it as simply something fun to do. But something happened, something wonderful. While wearing the "Red Suit" and greeting Santa believers, something changed within me. Now we all know how children bring toy lists and tell Santa their wishes—so do a few adults! I have heard such heartfelt memories of days long gone, stories about fathers who once donned the beard and coat, who passed away after years of bringing that magical moment on Christmas Eve. All I can say is, while I always believed in the spirit of Santa Claus, I had forgotten how to believe like a child does until now.

   

  I am not Santa; I am simply an old man with a big beard, a red suit and a heart which has grown three sizes. I am not Santa, but I get to represent the best there is. I get to bring hope and love. I am not Santa, until a child recognizes me and then I am all of that and more. Thank you, Santa Claus for letting me see through your eyes something I never imagined was so abundant: Love and Hope.
