My name is Santa Randy Gabrelcik. I take great pride in being a Santa and remain in character throughout the entire year, not just for 6 to 8 weeks in winter. I capture the attention of children of all ages year round in many locations. I attended the Marines Graduation Ceremony of my nephew in San Diego, CA where I was well received by many generals and sergeants who said I wore the most authentic outfit ever worn to a graduation ceremony at the Marine Base. I was asked to take pictures with several Marines. I visited the San Diego Zoo while in California and was asked to pose in several photos with families. This is the best of life!!!
I attended classes through the International University of Santa in Arizona where I received my Master in Santa Clausology in September of 2007.
My wife has provided me with a very unique wardrobe which revolves around red and green colors. (See photo gallery) In the summer, you will find me in red and green shorts and shirts to include red and green Nike tennis shoes. I also have jogging suits to include the same colors as well as dress up sport coats, shirts and slacks, and red leather dress shoes. I have a "summer Santa suit" for special visits that might be needed during the off winter season. I also own a red tuxedo for those holiday winter weddings that Santa is invited to.
Besides the "traditional full Santa suit" requested by most parents for home visits, I have added a long red velvet coat with gold trim and fur for those who like the "Father Christmas" old time look. I also do the "workshop" look with red velvet pants with suspenders and beautifully sewn Christmas print shirts with special matching buttons to coordinate with the prints. I have several pairs of Christmas socks to go with the shirts also, some that even play Christmas music and musical ties. The image of Santa is of utmost importance. I have a beautiful hand made Santa chair with gold leather upholstery that I can bring to special events when needed.
