Santa Visits You

01/06/2026

🎄 Closing Out the Christmas Season 🎄

As I finally hang up the red suit for the season, I want to take a moment to thank some very special people who make this whole Santa journey possible.
First and foremost, my wife Lisa — thank you for putting up with me, the madness, the schedules, the beards, and the magic. And of course Sarah Rich and the kids, for putting up with us. When you still have kids in the house who believe in Santa, living in and out of character is no small task — and it was always a challenge navigating that magic at home. Thank you for your patience, love, and understanding.
A huge thank-you to Angelica Patria at Generations Hair Salon for taking such incredible care of my wig sets — always keeping Santa looking his best.
To Donna Wysk Reynolds, my amazing Santa seamstress, who has recently made me two beautiful custom suits and always keeps me looking absolutely top-notch.
And of course, to Mr. Dickens — Mario Zink, my right-hand man and assistant. Honestly, I don’t think I could do this without him. He’s almost as famous as Santa now 😅
Thank you to Meg DeMalia and Debbi Lindsey from Tiny Toes and Little Bows Photography - TTLB Photography, and Andrea Spano from AK Photography. These professional photo sessions always get Santa in tip-top shape before the visits begin and truly help set the tone for the entire season.
A special thank-you as well to Jay Deane, who handles my video promotions and helps bring Santa and Mr. Dickens to life on screen — your work plays a huge role in sharing the magic with so many families.
Thank you to Maggie Zhang ,creator of ZMhair Santa Claus Wig & Beard, whose work helps keep Santa looking natural, authentic, and realistic every time he steps out of the workshop.
A heartfelt thank-you to the locals in Orange and Athol who helped make the public Santa visits happen in both towns at the very start of the season, right after Thanksgiving. Those events truly set the tone for everything that followed.
So much work, time, and effort goes into creating the Santa Visits You image — for Santa and Mr. Dickens — and we are beyond grateful to all of our clients and supporters who invite us into their homes, businesses, and communities year after year.
From Santa and Mr. Dickens, we wish you all a very Happy New Year, and thank you for another unforgettable season.
Till next Christmas, my friends…

A client sent me this and it completely caught me off guard. It’s a photo of Santa (me) with his son, transformed into a Norman Rockwell–style image. It really looks like us, and there’s a warmth to it that’s hard to put into words. I’m not sure what its purpose is yet—but it feels important somehow. Truly honored and thankful

As this Santa season comes to a close, I just want to take a moment to say thank you.
From our very first stops in the towns of Orange and Athol, where families came out to visit us at free community events, to the many private parties that followed — homes, halls, and gatherings filled with laughter — it’s been an unforgettable season.
Santa and Mr. Dickens had the honor of being welcomed into so many wonderful celebrations, and we wrapped it all up on Christmas Eve, visiting six homes and sharing the magic right up until the very end.
And through it all, we always try to remember — and gently remind — that while Santa brings the fun and the joy, Jesus is the true reason for the season.
Thank you for trusting us.
Thank you for opening your doors and your hearts.
And thank you for believing in the magic — and the meaning — of Christmas.
It’s never lost on us what a privilege it is to be part of your family traditions, even if just for a moment. We’re grateful beyond words.

Until next year
🎅 Santa Kevin & Mr. Dickens 🎩

Come join us for midnight mass at Our Lady immaculate church on Christmas Eve.

I’ve truly loved every visit this season, spreading joy, laughter, and Christmas magic throughout our community. Now, as Christmas Eve arrives, it’s time to pause and remember the reason for the season.
Athol-area residents, you’re warmly invited to join us at Our Lady Immaculate Church in Athol for a special Midnight Mass beginning at 12:00 midnight on Christmas Eve.
It has been many years since our area last celebrated a true Midnight Mass, making this a truly special opportunity. Come be part of this meaningful and beautiful tradition as we welcome Christmas together.
Wishing you all peace, joy, and a very Merry
Christmas. 🎄✨

Santa and Mr. Dickens wrapped up their final visits of the season this weekend before the big night. We had the joy of meeting some truly wonderful families around the Athol area, sharing laughs, smiles, and plenty of Christmas cheer. Now… it’s on to Christmas Eve 🎄
