About Santa_Scott
Our Story
It all began in Madison, Tennessee, in 1975. A 16-year-old named Scott was about to discover a calling that would bring joy and holiday cheer to countless families for decades to come.
That winter, a kindergarten teacher told one of Scott’s friends something no child—or child at heart—ever wants to hear: “There’s no such thing as Santa Claus.” But Scott’s friend wasn’t ready to let go of the magic. Instead, they had an idea: “Scott, you’d make a great Santa.”
With a borrowed suit and a heart full of holiday cheer, Scott stepped into the role. What started as a spontaneous favor quickly became something extraordinary. The children’s eyes sparkled. Smiles spread. Laughter filled the room. And in that moment, Santa Scott was born.
Since that day, Santa Scott has made it his mission to keep the spirit of Christmas alive. From parades and Santa appearances to heartfelt visits and festive Christmas events, he’s brought warmth, wonder, and the magic of believing to generations of families.
Because for Santa Scott, it’s not just about the red suit—it’s about the joy, the connection, and the timeless tradition of Christmas memories.

Tips for Home Visits
Tips to prepare for Santa Scott's visit
🎅 Preparing for Santa Scott’s Visit
To ensure a magical and smooth experience during your Christmas events, please review the following guidelines:
🔥 Environment & Comfort
Santa’s Chair Placement: Please avoid placing Santa’s chair in front of a lit fireplace or any heat source. A fan in the area is appreciated to keep Santa cool.
Chair Requirements: Santa needs a sturdy, armless chair—a straight-backed dining chair works perfectly. If possible, leave space behind the chair for family photos that capture the holiday cheer.
Photo Setup: Make sure your cameras are charged and ready. Avoid backlit backgrounds like windows or plain white walls, which can affect photo quality. A Christmas tree makes a beautiful backdrop for Santa appearances!
🚗 Parking & Arrival
Parking Spot: Reserve a nearby parking space for Santa that is out of view of guests. Two trash cans placed in the spot usually do the trick.
Arrival Timing: Ensure all guests have arrived before Santa’s entrance. Santa will contact you 5–10 minutes prior to arrival.
🎁 Gifts & Helpers
Gift Distribution: Label gifts clearly and legibly. Santa loves having a helper to call out names! All gifts should fit into a 32-gallon trash bag and be easily carried. If there are extras, Santa may bring an additional bag for a helper.
Santa’s Helper Duties: Assign someone to manage the line and crowd. Helpers should check children’s hands and faces for sticky messes—wipes are helpful!
💨 Smoking & Scents
Santa retired his pipe years ago and kindly asks that no smoking occur nearby. Smoke clings to his suit, and Mrs. Claus isn’t fond of the smell!
💌 Payment Etiquette
If payment is due, please place it inside a Christmas card or “Letter to Santa” and hand it to Santa at the end of his visit with the words: “This is something we’d like you to have.”
🏢 Large Family, Business Parties & Special Events
For extended visits, Santa will need a 10-minute break per hour. Please provide a quiet space where he can remove his coat, access cool water, and use a private restroom.

Son: "Dad, I think I'm old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?."
Dad: "Ok, I agree that you're old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can't unknow it.
Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now.
