About Hiring Santa Walter or Santa Charles

Santa Walter for In-N-Out
Joining the Santa For Events team this season is Santa Walter’s brother, Santa Charles. (Yes, they really are brothers; and no they are not twins! Many people have asked!) Santa Charles is a retired psychotherapist while Santa Walter is a couple of years away from retirement as an elementary school teacher.
Santa is willing to come for any sort of special event. He can travel anywhere in Silicon Valley, Santa Clara County, the greater South Bay, Peninsula, Oakland area, Santa Cruz County, Monterey Peninsula, and Livermore Valley. His real beard, big smile, easy-going demeanor, the real cordovan boots and belt are always complimented by the guests. He is experienced with large crowds as well as small, intimate gatherings.
Santa Walter also sings, and has a prepared karaoke CD as background music to a few Christmas songs, if desired. He leads everyone in singing Christmas songs, even with jingle bells to ring. Also, Santa can recite the poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ and/or read several Santa stories with adults, families, or children. Many professional appearances have been with adults of all ages included in the photo sessions, in addition to children. In his day job he is an elementary school teacher (full fingerprint background clearance).

- $225 for an hour with Santa and a helper
