Cambridge Santa, w/real beard Great with Kids

This was the first time that we hired a 'Santa' for our annual family Xmas party. There are 6 boys from the ages 1 to 10. So, it was a 'tough crowd' to begin with. I had asked that 'Santa' read "The Night Before..." aloud and hand out 'autographed copies' of the book (provided by me) to each child. Of course, they only listened for a few mins. before rolling around on the floor & making silly faces etc (as little boys do...). But, 'Santa' kept reading and tried over & over to engage the kids. He spoke to each personally (or tried to), & he stayed the entire hour (which couldn't have been easy for him). I'd hire him again in a min.- not sure he'd come back:(

Paul was everything we could have asked for! This was the fourth year we've had him back to our annual party. His suit and beard looked great. He came in ringing a bell with a big smile on. He isn't a boisterous get-the-crowd-laughing Santa. Instead, he's an unfailingly kind and patient with little kids kind of a Santa. He disarmed several scared-as-heck little kids just being nice and gentle. He was posing for pictures, accepting Christmas lists, warning ids to be good, and handing out little gifts for over an hour.
