–   Providing Christmas experiences 365 days a year for children and their families who are battling life threatening illnesses.   Because some kids can’t wait until Christmas.

Welcome to all Santas, Mrs. Claus and Holiday Professionals!

Again, as in past years, this is a very special school, being presented at the headquarters of Christmas Dreams, an organization dedicated to bringing Christmas to children battling life threating illnesses.  They have kindly opened their facilities as a location where I can present my school.

2026 New Student Registration

2026 Alumni Registration

PLEASE NOTE: The Orlando School will be presented at the end of the week, on Friday and Saturday, June 26 & 27.  Sunday at Christmas Dreams is reserved for religious services.  Also please know that this school will be recorded. 

The earlier you start planning on your Holiday Season, the better prepare you are going to be.   Plus, it will be ‘less’ stressful if you start early.  This May school is a perfect time to kick off your plans.  

Santas need to start early in the year if they want to make the best of the training they are receiving. So, getting your training done by summers-end allows you enough time to apply what you have learned.

And to help all of the Santas and Mrs. Claus registering this year, I will be presenting each my newest book, “Santas Tips to Surviving the Holidays!”  This book has advice, guides and schedules that will assist you in organizing and planning for Christmas.

This school is for all Santas, Mrs. Claus and those interested in the Santa industry. Whether you are real-bearded or theatrically bearded; professional or just a volunteer, this school has something for everyone.

REGISTRATION COSTS – Single Registration for the two-day standard school is just $355, $535 for a couple. This includes 16 hours of training, the 275+ page course book and your personalized diploma, or two diplomas for a couple. Travel, meals and lodging are not included.

Alumni Rates are just $285 per person, and $405 per couple and include the full course and diplomas, no course book.

First time attendees, will receive a copy of my 20th Anniversary edition of, “Behind the Red Suit, The Business of Santa,”  Alumni can use any previous copy they have or can order a copy of the 20th Anniversary edition for $45, a $20 discount. 

BONUS SECOND BOOK: Over the years, I have always stressed getting a headstart on the Christmas Season. “If Santa or Mrs. Claus does not have their shopping done, Christmas cards addressed, Home decorated and lights up by Thanksgiving, they are in deep trouble!”

So, I am adding a second book, “Santa’s Tips to Surviving the Holidays,” to the school and giving everyone a chance to reduce holiday stress and get a head start on their work.

You also have the option of adding the fully recorded Home Study version of the school at a special discounted price of $195 when ordered with your school registration.  This is a $90 savings over the normal price.  It also allows you to receive an upgraded diploma.

MAKING THE MOMENT – For those wanting the third day of training, “Making the Moment,” I am offering the 6-hour home study course for just $115 when ordered with to the regular school registration.  This is a $50 savings over the normal price. 

All 6-hours of the advanced course, “Making the Moment,” comes on a convenient thumb drive, with training, informatioasn and details on photography, posing, special events, and advice, techniques and almost 200 photos and diagrams for the Professional Santa and Mrs. Claus.  Special certificates acknowledging advanced study, are included.
