Ho Ho Hello There!<\/span><\/p>\n

Word travels fast at the North Pole and the elves told me you might be looking for Santa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, you\u2019ve found him.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Santa Rod<\/strong>, also known in some snowy circles as Left Coast Santa<\/b>. While my official w<\/span>orkshop address is somewhere near the Magnetic North, I spend much of my year spreading <\/span>Christmas cheer throughout the beautiful Pacific Northwest.<\/span><\/p>\n

My journey as Santa began many seasons ago. I would visit schools and Scout meetings to bring joy and the Spirit of Christmas to the children.<\/span><\/p>\n

You see, Santa doesn\u2019t only work one night a year. Oh no! The reindeer need exercise, the elves <\/span>need supervision, and children need reminders all year long that kindness matters.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Over time, that calling grew into something more, a professional dedication to the art of Santa <\/span>Claus portrayal. Fine tailoring from the North Pole clothiers, proper training (the elves insist), <\/span>and years of listening to children\u2019s hopes and dreams have shaped the Santa I am today.<\/span><\/p>\n

But truth be told\u2026 my very first inspiration was my father. He wore the red suit before I did, and <\/span>watching him showed me that Santa isn\u2019t about a red suit, the beard or the boots, it\u2019s about the heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I visit your home, business, parade, or festival, you won\u2019t just get a photograph. You\u2019ll get <\/span>stories from the workshop, updates on the reindeer (yes, I know them all by name), and a <\/span>genuine moment of connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because belief is powerful magic.<\/span><\/p>\n

So whether it\u2019s a cozy in home visit, a grand community celebration, or a gathering of good <\/span>cheer, I\u2019m ready to hitch up the sleigh and bring the wonder \u00a0and the Spirit of Christmas to you any time of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

After all\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Sprinkles the Elf and I agree:<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas works best when we carry the the Spirit in our hearts every single day of the <\/span>year!<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay Jolly, Be Kind & Always Believe!<\/span><\/p>\n

Santa Rod<\/span><\/p>\n
