What is a Professional Santa?


November 16, 2007:

It is that time again. Time to get out the suits and dust off the boots and get Santa ready for another busy year. My husband is a Professional Santa Claus, which makes me a Mrs Claus, but I prefer the more appropriate "Ms Claus."

A Professional Santa Claus is a gentleman who, for one thing, gets paid for his appearances. He is also someone who puts a lot of time and thought into his costumes, accessories, HAIR and BEARD. Let me tell you, a Santa with a real white beard and hair gets the higher payback, more gigs, etc. It also helps if the Santa has a 'hook' - in my Santa's case, musical ability.

This is the start of an ongoing post regarding the life of a Professional Santa (PS for short). Stop in for some insights, as well as some hints for the aspiring Santa.

See You Tomorrow,
Ms Claus
