Santa Claus

Father Christmas will provide an unforgettable Christmas for your gathering. Arriving in a superb quality Santa costume, Father Christmas enters your function ringing his Christmas bell and "Ho-Ho-Ho-ing" his big heart out. Giving out the presents you provide is only part of Santa's job.

A heart-warming performance is involved, including singing of Christmas songs, handing out of lollypops and thrilling dialogue with each child. Santa has original sections of scripted show to perform, including discussing the work he does with Rudolph, Mrs Claus and all the elves. A fascinating journey into the life of Santa and what Christmas is really about... the joy of giving.

For a more elaborate Christmas, Santa can also arrive with Rudolph as well. The two of them join together in a wonderful scripted performance of stories and songs that everyone can sing along to. If you thought all Santas were the same, now experience how professional performers make the difference.

"Tony,  I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance in providing a 'Santa' to our Children's Christmas Party. From all reports, and from my own observations, Santa did an excellent job. Parents and defence members provided only good reports of his adaptive performance. The attendance of Santa to our function ways surely one of its highlights....The Sergeants' Mess and I, intend to give a lot more notice with our invitation next year.

Please find a few photos taken of Santa in transport. For your information the vehicle is known as an ASLAV, (Australian Light Armoured Vehicle. the ASLAV is an Armoured Personnel Carrier)."
