About Santa Willie

Santa Willie is a real, white bearded performing Santa that will bring the spirit and excitement of the holiday season to your special event! After working thirty-nine years in the corporate world I retired to pursue a passion for sharing the Christmas joy and love that I experienced while growing up.  Santa Willie loves children of all ages and will make your event a memorable one for children and adults alike. Nothing brings me more happiness than seeing children experience the magic and joy of visiting personally with Santa. That is why I feel privileged to do what I do. 

 

Your family visit will be tailored to your family and incorporate your family traditions into the visit. Santa Willie will be glad to accommodate photo opportunities during the visit with your children of all ages.
