Santa Jim

Meet Santa

Jim has been performing Santa for 52 years. He has been to Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Calgary as well as performing in his hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan. He started in 1972 because his father in law did not want to do it anymore. He started doing private parties for friends and relatives. He then branched out into private corporate parties. Then moved into performing on stage at casinos.

Then in 2006 he was contacted by a local charity to perform at a mall in Regina. He told the charity that if they were expecting to hire a Santa that would just sit in the chair and talk to kids as they approached him that they were asking the wrong person. His philosophy is Santa will make everyone happy. He will greet young and old as they come into the mall with a hearty "Merry Christmas".

For fifty years Jim has been putting smiles on the faces of everyone he meets. In 2008 CBC taped a documentary on Jim entitled "Preparation of a Santa". They came in and did an interview for approximately 45 minutes and then followed him to the mall to tape another 1 hour. They were very impressed with his Santa house. His Christmas tree is decorated with all Santa Clauses from around the world. A portrait of Santa hangs on the wall with the pictures of small children in his beard with all different expressions of happiness and surprise. They told him that he was probably the longest performing Santa in North America.

Many people have come up to Jim after a performance and told him that he is the best Santa in the world.

Santa's Prayer on Christmas Eve

By Warren D. Jennings

The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,
But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed.

"Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight.
There's much work to do and my schedule is tight.

I must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky, Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly.

I will visit each household before the first light,
I'll cover the world and all in one night.

With sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof,
Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof.

To get in the house is the difficult part,
So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart.

My sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes.
The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes.

I will fill all the stockings and not leave a track.
I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack.

I can do all these things Lord, only through You,
I just need your blessing, then it's easy to do.

All this is to honor the birth of the One,
That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son.

So to all of my friends, least Your glory I rob,
Please Lord, remind them who gave me this job."
