Santa Kennison Kyle Santa Claus from Memphis, TN

Santa Kennison first donned "the red suit" to assist Santa Claus in December 1998. Santa Jim Kyle (my father) was asked to appear at two locations at the same time. He asked if I was interested in helping thus beginning my work as one of Santa's personal appearance assistants. Current clients include: The Salvation Army of Memphis (Teddy Bear & Toy Tuesday and News Channel 3 Day of Ringing events) The Enchanted Forest benefiting LeBonheur Children's Hospital - at the Memphis Pink Palace Museum (appearing since 2002) Memphis Botanic Garden - Breakfast with Santa (appearing since 2007) Majestic Grille - Brunch with Santa (appearing since 2010 or 2011) Additionally, I appear at assisted living facilities, preschools, classrooms, private corporate events, fundraisers, and private family gatherings. Why consider a professional Santa appearance: Personalized visit from Santa -- Santa Kennison asks a few simple questions about children to help start conversation Comfort - stay at home. No hurried trips the mall after work or busy shopping weekends. Shy children are in familiar environment making possibilities of a non screaming picture a lot better. Photo/Video - take all the pictures/video of the visit. Some malls and other public venues discourage or prohibit taking photos with personal phones/cameras. Also, have you tried to record video in a mall lately? Good luck. Memories - share the experience of Santa's visit with family and/or friends - the more the merrier.
