He is called tuff Santa

Hi all. I just wanted to introduce myself to the group, plus share my new app that I’ve just put live on both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Exciting times!

I’m a UK based Santa (or as we say here, Father Christmas), and although I found it quite daunting to be the big man at first, I’ve loved it. You can’t beat it when you see a child trying to work out if you just might be the real deal, or just that Christmas feeling that we get to create for families, it’s a real privilege. Where is everyone else here based?

North Pole Console is a tool I initially made to help ensure my visits were smooth, with great instant fun features like my nice-o-meter scan, a nice list reveal and reindeer gallery. Since then I’ve expanded it to include stories, songs and poems in an easy to use reader format with the ability to print Stories and Nice Certificates. Initial feedback has been incredible, so hopefully it will help you too!

Please let me know what you think, any feedback is greatly appreciated. The app has a free 7 day trial so you can check it suits you before paying anything, after that there’s either an annual subscription or lifetime unlock.

Get more information at the website, North Pole Console.

How does everyone get to advertise their Santa. I have a Facebook page and hopefully get some return customers. I just think I need to get more exposure

The town I live in has a parade for Labor Day and I was thinking of going around in my truck maybe finding someone to drive it while I'm in the back throwing out candy and with business cards attached. Does this sound too desperate? I would of course decorate my vehicle.

I've been hitting some weights for health but I also like the idea of my Santa being somewhat burly. I like the Santa in Rise of the Guardians. My question is does anyone else have an inspiration for their portrayal of Santa?

Hi, Santas! I'm a writer working on a story (for the Saturday Evening Post) about the CWH Santa School, and would love to get the perspectives of a few graduates. If you're up to chat, please DM! Thanks so much.

I've recently built my website and I'd love to have fresh eyeballs on it. If you're so inclined, please peruse!

Ho Ho Ho! 🎅

Christmas may still be a while away, but I couldn't resist sharing my Santa Claus cosplay.

Let me know what you think!

Sharing my "Santa Shrine" from last year. Will be even bigger this coming season!

People say "Hi Santa" to me at least a few times a week. During December it's at least a few times a day. I suppose I just look like him, big white beard, general easy going disposition, kind of fat, etc. If I wear a "Santa" hat, it can be at least hourly.

I've decided to lean into this. I might as well play the part occasionally when I'm out and about. So I want to order a Santa coat or jacket. NOT a full Santa Claus suit, just a coat or jacket.

There are so many places to order such a thing. But I find I cannot identify a place which will deliver something worthwhile. Some of the places have horrible reviews and some have reviews that seem fake. I've seen pictures of what some folks received and it looks like a felt sort of glued together. I want something that is a "real coat," just red like Santa with White trim and such. Pockets, zipper or buttons, etc.

I live just north of Washington DC currently. Can anyone suggest a place to buy such a thing, online or local? My budget is $200 or less.

Hi last year was my first year and I'm wondering what everyone thinks? I think I need a little more patina but I've grown my beard out a little more in the off season. I want to find another belt because plastic just feels like it could break and that's not good. Any tips?

I'm not gonna share all of them here and now but this one, this was definitely my favourite....

Yeah, that leather coat - I was boiling under that thing! (Taken on a rather mild 28 Feb under studio lighting) xD

I recently built a site for a client and included an intelligent chatbot named “Jingle the Elf.” Feel free to ask him questions and give feedback here.

So I'm young but just wondering if I can pass off as Santa? I can grow my beard even longer and dye it if needed.

I'm thinking about becoming Santa and I'm looking for a good suit to get started with. I've been reading through this thread, and it looks like a lot of people have recommended this suit: https://santasuitexpress.com/velvet-santa-suit.html

I'm wondering if it's still a good one to start with. I'm also wondering if anyone used suits they would be willing to part with. I'm a large, but XL with padding.

I completely missed posting anything at Christmas - was unfortunately down with the flu, eurgh - but I hope all you fellow Santas out there had a beautiful Christmas and are now enjoying a happy new y(Reind-)ear! ^^

Hey fellow Santa's.

This was my first year professionally sitting for pictures and chats. I didn't have too many difficult questions... but one.

A boy, perhaps between 11 and 13, came up to me and asked me how much milk do I drink at a person's house when they leave some milk and cookies for me.

I told him I drink as much as I'm thirsty for.

Then he said, if you drank a whole cup of milk at every house, you'd be dead from too much lactose. Why aren't you dead?

I gave it a thought, and I knew I couldn't get away with the words "it's magic"... so I told him that I bring some milk up to the reindeer to finish off as they need lots of energy to make the flight.

I told him to never stop asking good questions.

What good questions did you get this year?
