About Santa
"Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus"
Santa Gary Hall is the Sleigh Rider!
I am a premier Real Bearded Santa for hire in New York City and its boroughs, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
I’m THAT Santa Claus with a “Twinkle” in his eyes and the Joy and Love of the Holiday Season in his heart.
Some people hear the word “Christmas” and think of Christmas day while others think of the Christmas season as a whole. No matter how we envision Christmas, it is the Spirit of Christmas that changes us. We try to be a little kinder, a little more forgiving and a little more loving. That spirit is what I strive to keep within me year round. As a real bearded Santa Claus, I do truly care for others and I try to embody the good that comes from lifting others up. As a child, my mother instilled in me the passion to be a giver. If only she could have imagined her son becoming a right Jolly Ole Elf!
Over the years I have worked as a Santa for Hire in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey for home visits like those listed below:
Home Visits in November and early December: I love to entertain children, young and old, with stories from the North Pole along with tales about my many Elves and Reindeer. I have been hired for Birthday parties, Christenings, Sleep overs, Family Dinners and Holiday parties.
Christmas Eve Home Visits: I feel privileged to have been invited into so many homes in the New York area to share a little bit of holiday spirit by reading “Twas the night before Christmas”, listening to the children’s wishes before handing out the gifts and capturing those precious memories with family photos.
Christmas Eve Sneak-A-Peak: If you’ve never had the experience of a personal home visit from Santa for a Sneak-A-Peak, you are missing a magical memory for you and your Family! Imagine arranging for Santa to arrive sometime after 11:00PM to pick up a gift(s) you’ve carefully hidden on the front porch and then slip into your living room. In the mean time you are waking the family because you believe you heard Santa’s bells in the living room. As you and your family sneak in the room and you all can quietly watch in amazement as Santa puts the gifts under the tree, stopping briefly to take a bite of a cookie before filling the stockings with treats. Quickly you quietly guide the children back to bed so that Santa doesn’t catch them and he quickly escapes back to his sleigh. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture everything so your children will have proof! These are magical memories that will be told through the generations, by your children to their children.
Catching Santa a sleep on the Sofa Christmas Morning: Talking about memories that will be told over and over? Let everyone go running to the tree on Christmas morning only to find Santa asleep on the couch with all the gifts still in his bag and a half eaten cookie in his hand. The next question will be who is brave enough to wake the Jolly Ole Elf and get their gifts. Just make sure you have the camera ready.
Christmas Day: Do you have that one person or persons to whom you would like to really show your love? Santa can arrive at your door long after the gifts have been opened. Maybe just before Christmas lunch? Santa will be so flustered because he came to drop off a gift that somehow got misplaced in all of the excitement of Christmas Eve. Maybe the gift is an engagement ring, keys to a car, a set of golf clubs or just simply a single rose?
Over the years, I have worked as a Santa Claus for Hire in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey for corporate events like those listed below:
Corporate/Company Dinners: Santa will make your holiday event memorable for employees by greeting them at the door, taking snapshots, or short videos for parents to share with their children by telling them who they just happened to run into. As a roaming Santa, I get the privilege of visiting your guests throughout the event, telling short stories and jokes to loosen them up and interject a little of the Holiday spirit.
Corporate/Company Adult Only Parties: Santa can arrive at your party and kick it up a notch or two! I have a blast strolling from group to group for pictures, telling humorous stories or clean but sometimes corny jokes. Santa always has a way of creating a jolly mood and making magical memories.
Corporate/Company Family Parties: Santa can attend parties in the office and/or at other facilities. What always seems to work best is to have Santa sit for pictures with families and then spend time one on one with the children, listening to their Christmas wishes and passing out treats or little stuffed animals provided by your company.
Law Firms: Santa at a law firm is always a great way to cap off a year. Let Santa help you by distributing your year-end gifts. Just don’t forget to put a Gag in some of those gifts. Everyone deserves to have fun and make memories.
Over the years I have been the Santa Claus hired for Christmas Tree Lighting's in The Bronx and Queens.
Christmas Tree Lighting is not always just about lighting the tree. Santa should walk the crowd and if possible sit and talk to the children and hear their wishes. This Santa is for hire in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey for Christmas Tree Lighting Events.
Santa for hire Movies and Television: I will always make myself available to share the love and joy of being Santa Claus. This Santa has worked in New York on the Today Show and for Good Morning Britain. Santa, or as he is known in Britain, “Father Christmas”, had the best time working with the talented crews from both shows and looks forward to future events in television and movies. As always, I try my best to exhibit the traits that are in keeping with the Spirit of Christmas; faith, hope, love, giving, and sharing.
If these are traits you are looking for, let me be your Santa for Hire in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Posing for traditional photos with Santa, reading stories, and distributing your gifts are just some of the holiday magic Santa can provide to make your special event “Extraordinary” and filled with unforgettable memories!
