SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT – THIS IS THE LAST MONTH WE WILL BE DOING AUDIO PODCASTS. STARTING OCTOBER WE WILL ONLY BE ON YOUTUBE. SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU START TRANSITIONING FROM YOUR AUDIO PLATFORM TO YOUTUBE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

How did Santa Claus make it to our celebrations today? Where did the naughty/nice list spring from? Sinterklaas, Pelz Nickel, Santeclaus, and many others followed him to America from various countries that helped shape our current view of the Jolly Old Elf. This is the last of our series on St. Nicholas and how Santa Claus came to be such an important feature of our Christmas celebrations.

We have been asked whether Santa Claus is real. Further, how did he become such an important part of our Christmas celebration?

The answer is definitely YES! He not only existed but also influenced many of the good and loving traditions we celebrate at Christmas today. We begin our multi-part series of this revered saint and the miracles for which St. Nicholas is credited. We will also discuss how he moved from this gift-giver's humble roots to becoming the worldwide giver of love and gifts.

Yes, this Santa was even in a stage production. Here we talk about when Joe was in a Christmas dinner show production in Pigeon Forge (as Santa Claus, of course.)

Many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities have come his way, and this is a particularly fond memory.

In my 23 years as Santa Claus, I have done many remarkable things from parades, interviews, and commercials to hundreds of appearances of various types.

Surprisingly, the one thing I have never done is sit in Santa's Chair for the entire season. Well, it is time to add that to my experiences. Watch what and where we will be during the Christmas season of 2024!
