I’ve been Santa in our neighborhood for 4 years. This year is the first time as a professional. I used Amazon suit for 3 years and hated it, especially the wig and beard. So yes, trained at CD Howard(class of 2024)got a real suit for me and my wife (Ms Claus) and we love it. Also have whiten my hair and beard which feels natural(Yay) this is a great journey. Last year, a lady brought 3 chickens for a picture 🤣 that was fun 😊 anyway, This is definitely a calling. In 2025 my goal is to put my name out there and see what happens. 2024 was our baby steps training and we are only going to get better. We’re looking forward to it. Thank you Santa Tom for the video 👍🎅🏻🇺🇸
This is so great, I appreciate the comment so much. Cangratulations to you and Mrs. Claus for a great season and a better one next year. That's so funny about the chickens, I had a lady walk up and put a real monkey on my shoulder for some pictures, that was a first for me . Good luck to you and thanks for sharing. 🎅
@SantaTomSmith well, I might need your help convincing him! 🤣 I want to make his suit! (Maybe not his first one, but I wanna go all out with all the fancy embroidery and stuff!). We can start with a temporary one 🤣😂
I just finished year 3 as a semi pro Santa! Got to around 1600 kids thanks to the partnerships I am making. I have a group who bought me 2 suits, not hi end but mid tier, to replace my original which was a bit dated and extremely hot. Could you share about mid tier companies? Experiences and things to note...
@puckster970 I appreciate your comment and question. Yes, I'll get some more videos out concerning these questions. I hope you get a chance to watch the other videos I attached with this one and go over some mid tier items. I really appreciate you.
The absolute kindest, and best Santa that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. 🙏🏼
@@PapaBeardo that really means a lot. I really appreciate you

Is so amazing that you get to do that bringing the magic to young ones I love everything about what you stand for God bless
Awesome video! Keep up the good work Santa Tom!
@stevenjones2580 I appreciate that. It means a lot.
I am trying to talk Kev into becoming Santa! He has a bit more graying to do, but it's never too early to start!!
@amberinboden516 he would make such a good Santa. They make stuff I use to whiten my beard that's safe, so you don't have to bleach it.

@@amberinboden516 Absolutely, and the first time he puts a suit on, he'll be hooked.
