2012 FORBS Luncheon report

Posted by Santa Gordon, 30 January 2012 - - - - - - · 209 views

Well folks, if you have never gone to a large gathering of Santas, writing about
it just does not begin to cover all that happens. It was sort of like "Animal
House goes to the North Pole" with all the different personalities coming into
play and the different agendas that needed to be addressed. I will try to
mention some of the...

What separates a hobby Santa from one that does this as a business...

Posted by Santa Gordon, 08 December 2011 - - - - - - · 119 views


To perform in any corporate setting such as a Mall or any retail business, there is now a demand for insurance by the business you will be performing in/at. If you work for a photo company you will have to provide a background check as well. It is the way they do business and is in no way a comment upon you personally.

Like your suit and boots,...

And the blind shall see...Santa!

Posted by Santa Gordon, 06 December 2011 - * * * * * · 92 views

Today I was visited by a young lady who had never sat on Santa's knee before. At the ripe old age of 9, this young lady had never had the pleasure of seeing Santa personally. Today was that day!

This little girl was blind and did not know what to expect when she sat on my knee. The Mother was somewhat anxious and apologetic while she explained her...

More fun at the mall.... for someone.

Posted by Santa Gordon, 06 December 2011 - - - - - - · 76 views

I have been at the same mall now for 3 years and have developed a sort of following with regular visitors. Some of these are mentally developed in different ways, others are physically different in their abilities. All of them love to visit with Santa and give very enthusiastic hugs! Last year the company I work for had a special pricing of $5 for...

Some visits are fun, some are sad, this one made me cry.

Posted by Santa Gordon, 04 December 2011 - - - - - - · 67 views

I have been busy all day today on this first Saturday of December. Lots of hugs and wishes listened to and photos taken. Many many happy faces sitting on my lap telling me what they desire most for Christmas.

Then a little 6 year old girl sits down and says "All I want for Christmas is to have my mother share it with me at home." Small warning...

Christmas Traditions, observing old ones and making new!

Posted by Santa Gordon, 27 November 2011 - - - - - - · 50 views


Yesterday I touched base with the nice couple that wants me to "deliver" Bicycles to children in need on Christmas morning.

This nice couple had come into the shop where I work months ago to ask me if I would participate in this project. They were trying to collect used bikes and clean them up, fix them and repaint them, basically ...

It All Works Out...

Posted by Santa Gordon, 21 November 2011 - - - - - - · 31 views


Yesterday I had a young man (18 years old) come in with his mother to get a picture taken. He weighed 85 pounds and had palsy. We first tried to have him in his chair next to me but he kept looking to the side away from me. Then we tried him in my chair and his mother lifted him up in her arms and carried him to the Big Chair. He seemed to like...

My last day at work.

Posted by Santa Gordon, 01 November 2011 - - - - - - · 21 views

Yesterday I was hip deep in "Sugar Skulls", halfpint zombies and ankle biting vampires. It was Halloween day and many of my regular customers came in to get more last minute supplies to make up more of these wonderful little monsters. They all asked if they could come back later in the week to talk to me about their projects upcoming and displayed...

Pricing your services.

Posted by Santa Gordon, 27 October 2011 - - - - - - · 17 views

The very first thing you hear spoken out of the mouth of any new performer is "How much do you charge?" Meaning "How much can I get?". Well folks, it varies wildly and widely from performer to performer and geographical location. Here are some words of advice which you are free to use or ignore as that is what it cost you to...
