Hello Santas, Elves & Raindeer!

As people start to think about the holiday seasons now, they will be looking for their Santa's on the internet.
As they find this site, they need to be able to see a way to contact you.

In your profile under "How do I contact you? Email/Phone?", please add your Santa Business email or phone number for anyone to contact you at.

Have a Happy Holidays! and Merry Christmas!

There used to be a large wooden sign plastered across the furrdown that separated our kitchen from the breakfast room that read, “I Believe in Santa Claus.” Unfortunately, right after Christmas about 10 years ago, the family decided the furrdown needed to come down … something about us bumping our noggins 10 too many times. Yep, that evening after dinner, hubby took a sledge ham… Continue

Already unmasked, there were many years in the industry, Stage, film, TV and a lot of broadcasting; country radio in Los Angeles [well, actually Burbank], talk radio in San Francisco.

As a younger Santa, and for too long a Realtor, alternated between Santa and the Easter Bunny in my residential [farm] area. Calendars and candy plus Hospice work.

Left Hollywood about 7 years ago, and now spend my time between New Orleans and San Francisco area [Niles, now Fremont]. Have been doing Mall work for 6 years, five of them a traveling Santa Substitute and trouble shooter with the BIG event photography company, and last year went to a smaller group sitting all season at Capitola Mall. What a pleasure.

My 'day' job is as a senior loan officer for a major mortgage bank [no, we don't, and never have done sub-prime lending, and I specialize in Gov'ment backed loans, mostly FHA].

Well, I think that is enough for now. Thank you again for the acceptance.
I look forward to my first meeting with the 'group' .

Oh, I had not realized that I now have a NING ID, and the 'new' AORBS already have it online. I can already see that this is goingto be a wonderful year and Santa Season.
