Santa loves you!

Keeping the "Spirit" alive all year round!

Dear Santa Dan Friends,

Ho Ho Ho! As many of you know, this summer has been quite a challenge for me, but I’m on the mend and making good progress. However, this holiday season, I’ve decided to take it a bit easier to ensure a full recovery. Unfortunately, this means I won’t be able to participate in my usual home visits, public appearances, or corporate events this year.

But don’t worry! I’m still here to spread holiday cheer in two exciting ways:

First, you can book a festive photo session with the wonderful Kelly Lynn at L’Aatelier Studio in Mustang. Simply visit our website at www.SantaDanShort.com to schedule your time.

Second, I invite you to join me for my 10-minute photo sessions where you can bring your own camera and capture your own holiday memories! 

THIS YEAR WE HAVE A NEW LOCATION in Moore at the Good Kids Boutique, located at 103 NE 1st St. Moore, OK, just a block from downtown Moore and the police station. I am excited to be working with a non-profit The Good OKC and am thankful for them allowing me to use their space during the Christmas Season.

I can’t wait to see as many of you as possible and share the magic of the season together. Your understanding means the world to me as I focus on healing. Remember, Santa loves you, and let’s keep the spirit of Christmas alive!

Santa Loves You,
Santa Dan

My Philosophy

I have only been Santa for about three decades.

It has been a privilege to carry on the traditions of generosity and love found in the life of the original Saint Nicholas.

I have met thousands of children and heard their stories; not just their lists of gifts, but their funny and poignant, miraculous and heart rending aspects of their lives.

I consider the invitation to be Santa a sacred responsibility.

Outreaching far beyond the cultural seasonal “popular role” of the jolly bearded gift giver who bestows rewards for those children on the “nice” list!

To me, Santa is much more than a magical toymaker who doles out gifts once a year in a whirlwind “around the world” flight!

Santa is a symbol of several “values” embodied by the “real life” of the third century child, and later Bishop of Myra, Turkey, “Nicholas” himself. Among those values are love for all, generosity, compassion, kindness, healing, humility and selfless secret acts of giving and ministry.

It is my desire to emulate and practice those same values, not only during this “Christmas” season but all year round.

I intend to receive every person, especially each child, with love and respect. To greet them warmly and devote my fullest attention to them, to listen to them and to exchange in my words and my actions my most supportive and encouraging messages.

I commit to do my best to live by these values in all my encounters with children and adults.

Santa loves you…help me pass it on!
