Today, 1/9/2026 officially ends Christmas for Santa for 2025.
Today, Santa was able to visit the children of Abners Montessori School in Chapin SC. Due to the accident Santa was involved in while playing Reindeer Games with the Reindeer early December 2025, Santa could not visit the school prior to Christmas.
Robin and Rodger, at the school, made it possible to visit the children after Christmas. This visit is always special to Santa each Christmas.
This year, we had the opportunity to have a Q&A with the kids. It's always so much fun to hear the questions, its amazing to hear the imagination of these children. It honestly keeps this SC Santa and Mrs. Claus on our toes.
I am so thankful that God, Robin and Rodger, allow us to be such an amazing part of these children's Christmas.
We always have that one child that says, "you can't be real, Santa isn't real." This always gives us the opportunity to share the real Christmas story and the "Giving" from the 3 kings and how Santa continues the "Giving" today.
I had the opportunity this morning to allow the doubting child to tug my beard to see that it was real. Then I told them to sniff their finger after tugging. And I said, "you see, Santa's beard always smells like Christmas Cookies." Before long, each child was tugging my beard and sniffing their fingers and hollering... "Wow, it does smell like cookies."
I love the imagination of children.
BTW... My beard does always smell like Christmas Cookies. If you don't believe it, you will have to try it yourself. Love to you all... SANTA.

To all those who LOVE the real Santa. As you see there have not been to many posts from me this year and I do apologize. Unfortunately, Santa was out playing with the reindeer earlier this year. You know... we do love our Reindeer Games. But Comet and Santa jumped at the same time, and Comet's hoof hit Santa's left leg. Due to the injury, Santa had to undergo some repair work to his left knee to get him ready for that big night, Christmas Eve. Santa looks forward to being available for all kinds of private events for 2026. Please feel free to call 803-772-2224 to hold your place for Santa's appearance at your Christmas function. MERRY CHRISTMAS

11/29/25, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Beanie decided to give Mrs. Claus a break from the Kitchen after the Amazing Thanksgiving meal. We decided to enjoy an evening at "The Kingman." While we were waiting on our food to come out, there was a party of 4 senior adults that came in and sat down at a table across the aisle from us. We kept noticing one of the ladies looking over and each time she and Santa made eye contact, she would smile the biggest most beautiful smile from ear to ear.
It wasn't long before one of the other ladies at the table, got my attention, then spoke up and said "Sir, my sister", pointing at the lady with the beautiful smile", keeps telling me that you look like just like SANTA CLAUS!"
With a smile and a wink, I softly replied, "there's a reason for that, I am he."
It just goes to show, the spirit of Christmas still shines through us all. You don't have to be a child, to belive. You don't have to be a parent raising a child and pretend to believe. All you have to do is look, and watch life, with open eyes, just like Mollie did tonight while eating dinner at "The Kingsman." With an open mind, the joy of Christmas, and still believing in Magic... Mollie saw SANTA. Merry Christmas Mollie (with an i.e.), I'm pretty sure you will make the "Nice" list.

A lesson for today:
Doing nothing, will ALWAYS guarantee the results.

The Christmas story you may not have heard.
Have you ever really thought about the significance of the manger that the baby Jesus was laid in.
Of course a manger is a feeding trough for animals. In ancient Israel they were made of stone, not wood like what you see in a modern day nativity. Not a comfortable place to lay a baby, but instead a great choice for protection. That’s why those who were experts in this matter, the priests, would put their newborn lambs in them... for protection. But not just any lamb, they were unblemished, perfect lambs, that were used in a sacrifice for sins. Bethlehem, where Jesus was born was FAMOUS for their UNBLEMISHED LAMBS. Those lambs were used for the sacrifice. These lambs had to be perfect. The shepherds would wrap the lambs tightly in cloth and lie them in the manger to keep them safe. This is why the only time mangers are mentioned in the birth story of Jesus, is because the story was is being told to the shepherds. In Luke 2 the scripture says “This will be a sign for you (the shepherds), you will find the baby, wrapped in cloth and lying in a manger.” The shepherds would have understood this powerful parallel! THEY KNEW what the cloth and the manger meant! This baby would be THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD! The Messiah who would one day sacrifice His life for the sins of the world. He wasn’t just a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger, He was God: perfect, sinless, and Holy, humbling Himself to become the perfect sacrifice to reconcile us back to Himself! The Perfect Lamb, Jesus Christ, is the the whole reason we celebrate Christmas!!
