Santa Russell has been portraying Santa Claus for over 10 years, he loves coming to your event for pictures, stories or for home visits. Santa’s workshop is located near JBLM, but he is available for travel to many other towns and cities in the area. Corporate parties are a great place to have Santa come for pictures or to hand out various treats for employees. I love doing pictures and interacting with children and clients. Home visits will create many lasting memories for years to come. Santa is also available for Christmas eve visits. He loves reading stories, singing Christmas carols and just visiting with the children. His Mrs. Claus loves coming with him to certain events, so if you are desiring a really good Mrs. Claus, please request her. He is also a parent of a special needs child, so Santa Russell knows when it is best to keep it low and quiet with some children, and loud with others, if you have a special needs child do not hesitate to contact Santa Russell for a visit. Santa Russell has been to the International University of Santa Claus taught by veteran Santa Tim Connaghan. He has been to Christmas Performer’s workshop and has stayed quite active within the Christmas Performer’s community honing His craft to be the best he can be. He is a member of NORPAC Santa as well as a member of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas (IBRBS).

Santa

I’ve been a professional Santa since 2018 and before that I did plenty of appearances for friends and family. My main Santa gigs have been at the Kent Station Santa house, as a virtual Santa with Nordstrom in 2021 and doing some charity gigs like Shop With a Cop with the Kent Police Department. I absolutely love sharing the spirit of the season with kids of all ages. I bring a sense of humor which gets teenagers to drop their inhibitions even if just for a quick magical moment. As a younger Santa, I do have a regular “day job” but am able to be flexible during the holidays and I’m eager to have more experiences as Santa Cecil. Sometimes Mrs. Claus is even able to come with me! Looking forward to spreading more joy and laughter throughout Puget Sound this holiday season.

‘BELIEVE’ and Anything is Possible! Hello, I’m Santa James and I’m a real bearded Santa, because the more authentic I am the more enjoyment the audience will have. I have been Santa for multiple organizations: Lights of Christmas in Stanwood, vehicle/motorcycle dealerships, charity/community events, churches, schools, corporate/business parties and of course home visits. I’m available for your Christmas needs: Photography, story telling, giving out presents and I’m willing to travel. My beautiful wife is also available as Mrs. Clause for special occasions. The greatest compliment I have ever received is when the children say, “You are the real Santa”. When I hear that, then I know I fulfilled my Santa role. I hope you are interested in having me be your Santa this season.

Santa

My title of Santa George may be a new jingle to my ears, but working with children is an old song I am very familiar with. I have coached various athletic teams, played an active role with United Way, hosted fishing derbies and field trips for children and have always felt connected with the little people of the world. I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, where my wife and I have raised our two beautiful children and recently been promoted to Grandparents! The joy of becoming a Grandpa made me realize that I have the opportunity to create a similar joy for people not just during that magical time of year. Long before officially wearing the Red Suit, I had experienced that glance of wonder that kids give me when they see the big white beard, and jolly ole belly (you can thank my love of cookies for that). 2018 was my first official year as playing Santa, and it was a busy, magical season for me. I was involved with school events, charity events, private events and corporate events and loved every moment of it. It is not only the children that feel the Spirit of Christmas, but all ages, and putting this Red Suit on, is one of the most magical and rewarding things I have done.

In a perfect world, your job falls to you naturally. For 31 years, I was a Seattle mailman and every Christmas I WAS THE MAN DELIVERING JOY & PRESENTS TO ALL OF MY PATRONS. The suit was a hat, red pants, jacket, and a string of bell proceeding a bearded, jolly, giant St, Nick, with a pouch full of presents. Since then, I've done a few parties and was very entertaining the last Christmas seasons as a sometimes singing Santa Claus at the downtown Macy's, Westwood Village Mall, and Redmond Town Center. The Town Center was pretty entertained when they sang "Here Comes Santa Claus" & I (Santa Claus) joined the performance! "Dog Gone Great Santa !" I love for reading to children, home visits(did a Christmas in July party), corporate events, or whatever events express the JOY of the season. Located in South Seattle/Sea-Tac area.

I have been a resident of Washington State for close to fifty years and am now retired after forty years as a Mental Health-Chemical Dependency Professional. Mrs. Claus and I have been married thirty-four years and are parents to two adult children. Santa is my second identity for the past fifteen seasons in and around Cowlitz County, Washington; portrayed Santa for church youth groups, Scout Packs and Troops, charitable organizations, private resident get togethers, and past season as a "Mall Santa." The emotional payback for being Santa is the look of unconditional love on children's faces and expressions of gratitude from parents/care givers; I believe that the portrayal of Santa is every adult male's fantasy. I am currently a member of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas, Santa's Pack in SW Washington/Portland, OR and recently on board with NORPAC Santas; I have a BA in Santaclausology from the International University of Santa Claus (School 4 Santa) and have attended several workshops/conferences dedicated to the performance of Santa duties; I recite the "Santa Pledge" yearly and have a recent criminal background check.

Glade, Aaron

Santa

A couple years back my wife volunteered me to be Santa at a church Christmas party. I bought a theatrical beard, borrowed a suit and had a blast. A few months later Covid hit, the world shut down and I stopped shaving. When the beard came in grey my wife said “Hi Santa” to me one morning and not only was it a challenge, well, it just seemed to fit. When Christmas 2020 rolled around and the world was still isolated and Santa visits were masked behind plexiglass, I decided that kids needed something more. Santa Aaron was born and he and his elves made socially distant doorstep visits to family and friends. Santa Aaron enjoys bringing happiness and cheer to children and families during the holidays. In the offseason he doubles as “Softball Santa” coach and a marriage and family therapist. Santa Aaron serves the Seattle and Eastside areas and is available for home visits, Santa pictures, photography shoots and holiday parties. Santa Aaron is vaccinated and boostered for Covid-19.

Years ago while I was at a baseball game, an old man with a long beard sat next to me and said, "Hello Santa." I replied," I'm not Santa." The old man said," Yes you are.

Hi, I’m Santa Zed. I started off my career as a professional Santa Claus in 2021. I was recruited for a charity event when the previous Santa had to cancel. After that first event I was hooked and committed to my Santa career. After moving to the Seattle area, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to be the Santa for the Muckleshoot Casino assisting in their weekly promotions. This year I would like to expand to home visits and parties in the Seattle Tacoma area. I have attended seminars and training with FORBS and IBRBS as well as the New England Santa Society Santa Camp. I have had a professional background check and am looking forward to helping you create Santa Magic.

In 1979 I was stationed at Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany as a Department of Defense Civilian employee. Most of my work involved helping the military repair aircraft throughout Europe. All military personnel and their families arrived at this airbase to begin their European tour. The Rhein-Main AB terminal was open 24/7. I inquired about what the Airforce did for the children who arrived on Christmas day. I was told “nothing”, so I purchased my first Santa Suit with a fake beard and met the aircraft on the ramp dressed as Santa and then went up the ramp to give each child some candy and a gift. I did this for seven years. My job required me to travel and live in many places throughout the Europe and the U.S. By the time I returned to the U.S. I had a natural beard. I have been a Santa at Rhien Main AB Germany, Plattsburgh NY, Sacramento CA, Clovis NM, and Poulsbo WA. I have been featured in many newspaper articles throughout the U.S. I have over 30 years’ experience as a Natural Santa. I have been the Santa for the Port Gamble S’Klallam tribe for the past ten years. I provide all my services Pro bono for schools, non-profits, and church groups. I have also worked at malls and other locations for pay.

It has been said that: “you don’t choose the red suit, it chooses you”; for me that was true. Public speaking and stage presence were inculcated in me at an early age, modeling myself after my late father, a very gifted teacher and speaker. As a child in kindergarten, I was drawn towards the stage and every play that came along found me in it, usually in a lead role. In my teens, singing and voice lessons and choirs so many choirs. Began college at age fifteen and was part of an internationally acclaimed jazz choir. Sharing the 1980 Concord Jazz Festival stage with greats like Seattle’s own Ernestine Anderson, Ray Brown, Bud Shank, Shelly Mann, Laurindo Almeida, and George Shearing. In my thirties was host of a nationally syndicated radio program, radio commercial voiceover, and narrated audio books. Then Santa happened in my late fifties at the first Covid Christmas and I realized... I digress, that’s a different story.
Santa must have the voice. Of course, there will be wonderful vocal differences between Santas, but to be convincing it must be the voice of Santa. Then there is the look. My dear wife of thirty-eight years always described my mother as “Mrs. Santa Claus” - with complete accuracy. As genetics would have it, I am my mother’s son and, well, enough said.

Elf before self. Our true passion, however, is the children who can’t get to the mall. Who may never be invited to a holiday event. To this end, we are volunteers for SANTA AMERICA. (www.santaamerica.org) September 2022, we attended a Symposium in Overland Park, KS with like-minded Brother’s of the Beard. It was enlightening but emotionally demanding, and yes, there are times it’s okay for Santa to cry. Currently we are engaged in implementing SUBS Socks, underwear and belts- for children in need. Also looking to find group homes through foster services with whom we can share the Love, Hope and Joy of the season.

Available for all things in the Santa-verse, with or without Mrs. C, you will be delighted at the true spirit of Christmas that can be brought to your event. Sled currently parked in Kirkland, WA, but always ready to fly where needed. Frankly, we use proceeds from paying events to underwrite our volunteer work. With your support, there is no limit to the good we can do together.
