Meet Santa

The story behind the beard

Roger The Real Bearded Santa

A Calling, Not Just a Costume

For Roger, being Santa isn't something he puts on — it's something he lives. With a genuine, year-round natural beard and a heart full of Christmas spirit, he brings an authenticity to every appearance that children and adults can feel the moment he walks through the door.

Trained by the Best

Roger is a graduate of the prestigious Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School in Midland, Michigan — the world's oldest Santa school, established in 1937. This intensive program covers everything from the history and traditions of Santa Claus to child psychology, sign language, working with special needs children, and the art of creating genuine magical moments.

Yes, the Beard is Real

No costume pieces. No spirit gum. No wigs. Roger grows his beard naturally year-round, maintaining it with care so that every child who reaches up to touch it discovers what they hoped — it's the real thing. That moment of wonder is priceless.
