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.

My "unique speciality" is going to residences to do "Naughty or Nice Checks" where I bring an authentic wooden book with their names listed and ask the children if they have been naughty or nice the past year and what they might hope to find under the tree. They are usually 15 to 25 minute checks in the early evening. Parents have as much fun as the kids on these visits! Wonderful photo opportunities in their homes!

I am the grandfather of one beautiful granddaughter, father of 3 children and have been married to my wife for 32 years. I believe in high Christian moral standards. I am very involved in my parish - Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, where I have been a member for 32 years. My wife and I co-chair the "Children's Games" at the Incredible Festival which takes place for 3 days in September.

I also spend time building houses with real fireplaces and chimneys with my company, Gabrelcik Enterprises, Inc. I also create holiday fragrances that you can find at Santa Scents.
