Each year I give my Santa money to a humanitarian organization that specifically helps children. Over the last 4 years we have raised nearly $25,000. This money has been given to Iris House Children's Hospice in South Africa and Agape International Missions, who rescues trafficked children.
This year I am raising money for CUBA. I went on a missions/humanitarian trip there in January (see photo gallery below). There are great needs there, and the people are getting more desperate.
I am determine to go again, but in addition to my being able to do that, I/we will be bringing much needed and appreciated supplies.

Cada año dono el dinero que recibo de Papá Noel a una organización humanitaria que ayuda específicamente a niños. En los últimos cuatro años, hemos recaudado casi 25.000 dólares.

Este dinero se ha entregado al hospicio infantil Iris House en Sudáfrica y a Agape International Missions, que rescata a niños víctimas de trata.
Este año estoy recaudando fondos para Cuba. En enero realicé un viaje misionero/humanitario allí (ver galería de fotos abajo). Hay grandes necesidades y la situación de la gente es cada vez más desesperada.
Estoy decidida a volver, pero además de poder hacerlo, llevaré suministros muy necesarios y apreciados.

I am a born again, evangelical Christian, having come to faith in Jesus in 1971. I eventually became an ordained minister and pastored churches in MA for over 25 years. Though no longer a pastor, I am still ordained and still minister.
THIS IS OPTIONAL - I would love to share the true story of Christmas, the birth of Christ, when I visit
I am a born again, evangelical Christian, having come to faith in Jesus in 1971. I eventually became an ordained minister and pastored churches in MA for over 25 years. Though no longer a pastor, I am still ordained and still minister.
THIS IS OPTIONAL - I would love to share the true story of Christmas, the birth of Christ, when I visit . I would read my book, Dear Maggie a Letter from Santa. My favorite line in the book is when Santa writes : "Lastly, and please don't be sad, Maggie, the day will come when you stop believing in me and that is fine, but please never, ever stop believing in Jesus."
If you want just a rousing Santa visit or one where he shares about Jesus, I will definitely honor your request.
Amen!
NEW Santa Look for 2026!

This year I am going back to a real beard! I tried a professional beard last year, it looked great but nothing beats the real thing. I hope you agree.
So I renewed my membership with the IBRBS - International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas. I am once again a bone fide card holder!

Dean studied acting/theater at Emerson College in Boston. He then took a 180 degree turn and earned a BA in Bible and a MA in Religion and entered the ministry. He and his wife Susan pastored two churches and founded a third, all in Massachusetts. He is an ordained minister.
He has two children and 10 grandchildren, who refer to him as Grampy or at Christmastime as "Grampy Claus." There is great mutual love.
Dean is now fully retired. He spends time volunteering with hospice patients, painting, reading, hanging with the family, being involved with our church, trying to learn Spanish, playing with our cat and doing absolutely nothing!

I am not being prideful, but every single visit I have ever done as Santa left the customer totally satisfied. You need to know this, before booking a Santa!
Here is just a sample of some from last year, 2025:
"I saw Santa at the Navy Seal Foundation Holiday Fest. He was super warm and inviting. Even the most nervous kids warmed up to him enough for pictures to be a success! There was easily a line going for an hour and he was patient and made sure that each child had their 'moment' with Santa."

"I own a children's entertainment company, and booked Santa and Mrs. Claus for a major event we were helping at. Dean was wonderful throughout the process. Great communication accommodating the special requests for my event. I will happily use his services in the future."
Chrisie, owner, Dream Entertainment LLC
"Our Santa was amazing! He was so warm, engaging and truly brought the magic to every child who met him. His energy, kindness, and attention to detail made the experience so special and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better Santa and already booked him for next year. Highly Recommend!"
Samantha C., Lightbridge Academy
"He is personable, cheerful and just the perfect Santa...I cannot say enough about how he makes our Christmas season complete. You will not be disappointed if you choose him for your Santa events or in home visits."
- Cindy Edwards, Smithfield
"Santa has been visiting our preschool students for the past few years. The children love listening to him read his book and does an amazing job at keeping them engaged. We look forward to his visit every year!"
- Beth Paradis, Mt. Pleasant Christian School
I could not accommodate some requests for a Santa visit last Christmas. This year has the makings of a very busy Santa season - I already have 7 booked engagements! I have never had so many this early. Please, if you have any thought of scheduling a Santa visit, contact me ASAP. Thank you!
