Yes, Santa enjoys Father’s Day too. This year it passed with a special message about a North Pole staffing update including my promotion: OPA CLAUS!

Happy Candlemas!

Forget the groundhog! Today is CANDLEMAS, the official end of Christmas Season.

As we take down the decorations at The Pocono North Pole and prepare for our candlelight dinner at sunset, I reflect back on the many people who honored and trusted me as their Santa for a 2025 Christmas experience. THANK YOU you for permitting me to bring holiday cheer! I hope you will have me back in 2026.

In the interim, best wishes for an awesome sestercentennial year.

Cheerful regards,
Pocono Santa

Santa's heart is heavy as I bid goodbye to my Papa Elf.
Rest in peace dad. I love you!
