FAQ

  • Why do you call yourself “a professional Santa Claus performer”?

    I have attended a number of Santa Schools, seminars, and conventions to learn about Santa Claus Performing Arts.  I have attended training by nationally known celebrity Santas Santa Tim Connaghan (School for Santas) and Santa Ed Taylor (regular Zoom call training sessions of Santa Ed’s Worldwide Santa Claus Network), the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas 2022 International Santa Celebration with 600 Santas from across the world, and I am an active member of the Lone Star Santas (a Texas regional network and service organization of over 400 Santas, Mrs. Clauses, and Elves).  My wardrobe is expensive and some pieces are unique and custom tailored.  I also have a variety of outfits from very traditional, formal and elaborate, to a casual Santa everyday at home look and a business casual look.  I also have a Santa on Summer vacation look during the “Christmas in July” events.  I have duplicate costuming for the traditional Santa in case a suit gets soiled and needs to be carefully cleaned by a service familiar with cleaning faux fur properly.  With children accidents happen and I don’t want to be showing up at anyone’s event not looking my best.  

  • Are you insured and your background checked?

    Yes, both credentials are renewed every year.  I can provide proof if requested.
  • As PastorSanta.com LLC, do you only do religious programming?

    As a retired, ordained Pastor, I offer religious programming as a unique feature to differentiate me from other Santa Performers, but I do regular secular programming as well, as long as it is appropriate for children and the character of Santa Claus AKA Saint Nicholas of Myra.

  • Do you do off-season (ex. Christmas in July) events?

    Of course, yes.   However, if it is outdoors I will not appear in the heavy winter traditional suit coat.  Don’t worry, I will still be unmistakably Santa, instead, let’s talk about how I can do your event without suffering heat stroke.

  • Can you provide a Mrs. Claus or a photographer?

    I may be able to help you locate other servers and services, but I do not regularly provide either.

  • Can we take our own photos?

    I have good working knowledge of effective Santa poses and I can set up various scenes for you, so I encourage you to take as many pictures for personal use as you wish.  Any other use of my likeness for personal profit or commercial use without express prior written consent is prohibited and may be litigated.
