One summer over ten years ago, our church in Baton Rouge had “Christmas in July.” The usual “Santa” was unavailable so I got drafted. It was my only and closest encounter with Sainthood. My wife made me a Hawaiian shirt with Christmas themed material, a do-rag, and I got a temporary tattoo.
Flash forward to 2015 and a group of professional Santas (one of whom is a close friend) who couldn’t wait till July. Let’s see what kind of fun they have in April. Were they convening an income tax session? I think not! These guys know how to be jolly and how to get HAPPY! Sing, dance, and clap along with them!
My good friend, Art Hoffman, does great video work and had done all my video book trailers. He’s also captured many of the acts at North Carolina’s annual Folkmoot USA festival. See more Santa video and the amazing variety of topics by visiting Art’s YouTube channel, HERE.

Looks like Cliff Snyder on the far left, good guy, but he lives in New England. Of course, if they were in a police line-up ( good murder story perhaps) as unsubs, the witness would be perplexed. Being a Santa is great, a lot of fun, but the MS makes me have to take bathroom breaks too frequently. 😦 And you looked good as well…
