You may not agree with me 100% on everything and that is okay. We each must find our own way of portraying Santa Claus. But this guide will show you what I found that works best for me and just might help you. Many people think all it takes to be santa claus (with a small s and a small c) is to put on a red suit and a fake beard and say, ho ho ho. They are wrong! I can put on a green operating room outfit, complete with hair cover and shoe covers and a stethoscope but that doesn't make me a doctor and you sure don't want me taking out your appendix. Becoming a GREAT Santa Claus (large S and C) takes time to build up experience and training. Then there is the Performance Liability Insurance, annual back ground checks, good looking suits and more. If you are just beginning to wear the red suit, this school and book will help start you on your journey to becoming a GREAT Santa Claus. If you have been a Santa Claus for several years or more, this school and book may give you a new idea or two that will help you become a GREATER Santa Claus. So, welcome to the journey. I will be your mentor, guide and friend during this part of your trip. I hope we travel a long way together. If you have questions, you may contact me through my business Facebook page (North Pole Marketing) or email me directly at [email protected]

Download or read book Being Santa Claus written by Sal Lizard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A veteran Santa reveals heartwarming true stories and lessons from his twenty-year career spreading Christmas magic. With the holiday shopping season beginning earlier each year, more than ever. Americans are struggling to remember the true meaning of Christmas. And who better to deliver the gift of Christmas inspiration than a man who has spent the last two decades playing Santa? Sal Lizard was in his twenties when his beard and hair turned completely white. Today he appears everywhere from malls and parades to schools and hospitals. And— from his custom-made red velvet suits to the mistletoe that hangs from the rearview mirror in his Santa-mobile—he is Santa Claus three hundred and sixty-five days a year. In Being Santa Claus Sal reflects on his experiences with both children and adults including: Christmas magic is all around us: We don’t always see it, but it is there, shaping and enriching our lives. Sometimes you need to go that extra mile:Santa Claus is the one person who can’t even use a blizzard as an excuse not to honor his commitments, and Sal teaches adults the importance of always showing up for our children. Even a small child can make a big difference: Sal has met some impressive children over the years, and he’s learned that you don’t need to be a grown-up to make an impact on the world around you. In Being Santa Claus Sal shares these lessons, along with often heartwarming, occasionally heartbreaking, and sometimes downright hysterical stories from his twenty-year career as Santa.

Book excerpt: Who doesn't love Santa Claus? From award-winning photographer Ron Cooper comes a beautifully curated collection of fifty professional Santas from across the country. We Are Santa is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who slip into the red suit to spread Christmas cheer. Before and after portraits, behind-the-scenes stories of custom made costumes and specialized training, and surprising anecdotes of on-the-job encounters bring these Santas to life.

From a third-generation Kris Kringle to an Orthodox Jew who has been playing Santa for fifty years, Cooper's portraits are a testament to the holiday spirit. When Santa Mike, a Navy veteran and aircraft mechanic, meets a six-year-old girl with a prosthetic hand just like his own, he says, "Her eyes got big, and she threw her arms around my neck. It was the highlight of my season. That's why I’m Santa."

Book excerpt: Robert Field was the kind of man that had all of the noble attributes of Santa Claus, but had never had occasion in his life to play the role. It wasn't until after a series of personal setbacks that he felt the desire of "Becoming Santa." At first he became a Santa to make ends meet, but soon found that showing his natural love of people filled a hole in his heart that hadn't been so evident before. In the end Robert was surprised to discover that he, in reality, had become an authentic Santa Claus His existence was verifiable as an actual fact. His service grew out of practical matters and concerns. His actions were not artificial but heartfelt and genuine. And others strongly felt that he was worth of the name Santa.

Download or read book Being Santa written by Richard Robbins and published by Quill Pub. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming The Real Santa had given Robert Fields a meaningful purpose for life. It hadn't seemed particularly difficult for him to become Santa in two short months. To be Santa every day for the rest of his life, however, would be the bigger challenge.And in order to be Santa, Robert would have to understand him completely. Santa would have to be real to himself before he could be real to others. So Robert promised himself that he would study each of Santa's attributes and implement them in his own life.Robert might have conceded that such a lofty goal was much too difficult for one ordinary person to ever hope to achieve. Furthermore, he sincerely wanted to reach the point of actual existence, as anything less than such a reality would not be acceptable. But could it ever be achieved? During his brief experience Robert had already sensed moments when he had actually felt and acted like the real Santa Claus. Such fleeting seconds and minutes led him to believe in his heart that it was possible to stretch those instances into hours and days, months and years-or even ages. After all, Robert has always believed that each person is just one choice away from being suitable to himself and beneficial to others; they just need to know what their choices are.
