The
Secret of Being Santa!
Explaining "Santa" to your children...
Greg,
I just received my new Santa Belt, Bag, and key
holders. I was amazed at the detail, workmanship
and the quality of my items. I did a tremendous
amount of research prior to committing to have this
belt made, and had extremely high expectations of
exactly what I wanted and you exceeded all of them.
I can’t imagine the amount of detail work that goes
into each and every item you create. This will be a
treasure that I will use for many many Christmas
seasons, and hopefully someday pass down to my son
to continue. God Bless you, this must be a labor of
love knowing the joy you inadvertently give so many
children. As Santa, I believe I am creating mental
memories for children as well as preserving those
memories with personal photos, and you should
believe you too are doing the same with each photo
by each Santa displaying your artwork.
Thank you again for your commitment.
Santa John V.

Hi Greg, I'm pleased to
share with you a photo of me wearing my new belt. I'd like to
say it exceeded my expectations, but to be honest, they were already
extremely high based on the reviews others give you and your incredible
talent. When I look at this picture, what I see is an amazing belt that
really makes the entire suit and overall look. I'm sure I will get positive
comments about it for many years to come. Thanks so much. The belt and bag
were everything I could ask for. Warm regards and many thanks,
Santa Keith Carson
Seasons Greetings Greg, Just wanted to let you know I love the new Santa belt and bag. This is my first year to do the big red suit and the belt adds so much to
the realism. You would not believe all the compliments I have received on it, and the season is just beginning. Thanks for a beautiful job and the credibility it adds to a rookie Santa.

Hi Greg!
I have been meaning to send you a message.
I absolutely love the belt you made for me.
I have had zero issues with the belt and I get

Greg,
Everything just arrived. Words can't express how I am
feeling right now. The Belt, Buckle, Bells Straps and the
Key Strap are amazing. Some of my co-workers have stopped
by my office and are absolutely wowed by your creations.
Your attention to detail and your workmanship is incredible.
I wish every Santa could wear your priceless works of art.
Thank you from the
bottom of my heart!!

Hey Greg, my belt
just arrived today, it's awesome man, better then I imagined and
we'll worth the price and wait, awesome job dude. The
Happy Birthday Jesus looks excellent. I wanted it there as a
reminder for people to not lose the true meaning! I have had
arguments with my church because they won't let me play Santa
for the children, the Bible clearly states that children are
innocent and therefore I believe that until they are old enough
to know the difference they should be able to believe in Santa.
I've been doing this for 38 years and have never charged a dime.
I do it from the heart not for the money. I go to police
station and the hospital, needy children etc, anyhow just wanted
to share part of my story, thank you so much, Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year, God Bless brother. Santa Angst
|
Greetings Greg! I'm excited to tell you how much I and
others, love your exquisite craftsmanship and the talent placed
in your belts. The belt has beauty beyond my expectations!
It will surely make the holidays, and my Santa experience,
Shine! Children and adults alike are brought Joy by the
site of an "authentic" Santa belt, and I couldn't be more
pleased! I thank you very much for this wonderful
creation, which completes my Santa Bill outfit. I look
forward to doing more business with you in the future!
God bless and may you have a happy holiday! Santa Bill

Greg, we received Rick's Santa belt
and—wow! You are an amazing artist. Truly gifted. We have bought
custom leather items before, but your leather is superior in
every way. The actual leather, the workmanship, the skill and
the talent of an artist: all superior. It looks like you made it
for yourself...something all too hard to find these days. Thank
you so much for this fantastic addition to his Santa gear. We
appreciate your commitment to the Lord and your honesty and
professionalism when dealing with us. We hope to send you a pic
of him all decked out and ready to share some joyful Ho Ho Ho's
with our grandkids. (Rick isn't a professional Santa, he's just
a really awesome Grandpa.) Have a
wonderful, busy and blessed season.
Thanks again and may God continue to bless you. If we never meet
in person, we shall meet in Heaven, brother. Take care.

Greg, words cannot
express the amazement I had when I opened up the box and saw the
quality and beauty of these Santa clause belts. When I presented
my Santa clause friend with his gift last night, him being 58
years old, he actually cried. He never saw a Santa belt so
beautiful in his life. He's always seen those cheap glossy ones.
Greg, you are definitely blessed with a skill. Definitely, if
possible, pass on your talent because people like you are a
dying breed. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and a good
and safe trip to Alaska. As soon as you get back, I'll have my
next Santa belt order ready for you.
God bless and keep up the amazing work. Santa Kostas
|
Greg,
I
received the order the same day I received your e-mail. Oh my,
what a wonderful surprise! The belt is so beautiful I wanted to
sleep with it – but alas, Mrs. Claus said NO- ho, ho, ho! I now
know what a Master Craftsman can do!
Greg, the Santa belt is the most beautiful leather crafting I
have ever seen or thought possible. I am also very pleased with
the Rudolph belt-bag and Santa wallet. I wore it for a
Christmas in July event in Aiken SC, and received many
compliments! Words can’t sufficiently express my thanks!

Hi Greg, The Santa belt
and bag just arrived. They are beautiful!! Bill is so happy with
it. The quality is beyond what we anticipated. The belt is
amazing. We just love everything about it and I know the
children will be intrigued when they see it. The bag is
gorgeous. Those bells, I had no idea they were that size and
sound so beautiful. I thought they were just decorative, not
actual working bells. Thank you so very much. They are both a
work of art! It is obvious you care about what you create and do
it with love. Thank you so very much!! God bless you as you do
all things for His glory!!
Most sincerely, Bonnie and
Bill

Good morning Greg. Received the FABULOUS
BELT & BAG last night. I apologize for not giving you a jingle
sooner. This is the missing piece to my suit. I could not ask for
more.
Regards, Santa Ken P.S.
THEY are so sweet!

Received my belt and got to say it's
fantastic can't thank you enough makes my suit really stand out its
worth every penny, thank you again, will be ordering an
everyday belt just wondering what design. Santa Kenny,
UK |

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for this exceptional belt. I
have shown it to a number of people and it is a consensus this is a
belt worthy of Santa himself. I have always been proud to say I am
Mall quality or better but this type of add on pushes me past that.
It is the little touches that make a great Santa and you put those
into this.
The
pictures on your web page just do not show the beauty of this
product. If anyone is on the fence about having you do them a belt
get off the fence and DO IT. There is no question this will be one
of my pride and joy pieces. And the nice thing about this leather is
it will just gain character over the years. Thanks a
ton. Santa Bob |

Greg, We came back
from our trip and found
your belt in with our
stack of mail.
Wow! It's fabulous!
This belt is truly a
work of art. Everyone
who sees it has to do a
walk around to pick out
all the fine details
that you put on it. Then
they catch sight of baby
Jesus being guarded by
the reindeer! The reason
for the season! They are
all agog. I am so
grateful that you do
this. I had a Santa suit
custom made for me and
put a lot of effort into
making it as real and
authentic as possible.
Your belt brought it all
together!
If anyone is looking for
a Santa belt, go
straight to you. Really.
Don't bother looking
anywhere else, because
others will always fall
short. This has heft.
This has size. This has
detail. This is an
heirloom. Children can
tell if your outfit
doesn't quite measure
up. They can spot the
flaw, catch the cheap
imitation and be
disappointed. A genuine,
full size Santa belt is
a must.
With your help, I have
witnessed wide eyed
children run to "Santa".
They just stare and take
in all in. They hang on
every word and want to
touch me to make sure
that I'm real. It
doesn't happen often,
but when it does, it's
precious.
May you and your family
have a very warm and
blessed Christmas.
Santa Don

Greg- Just got my
belt and it is amazingly beautiful! I never thought
I could be so 'wowed' by a Santa belt, but this did
it. The color, the style, the thick leather, the
wonderful smell...it's perfect! I have a wonderful
Santa suit, and this belt will only class it up
more. Thanks for your wonderful workmanship...it was
definitely worth waiting for! Thank you so much
again! Blessings my friend,
Corey |

Greg, The Santa belt arrived yesterday afternoon. I
LOVE
it! Way more than I expected. You do amazing work. I
can't wait till Christmas.
I know a couple of other guys that serve as Santa's also and I plan to
show them the new belt. God's Peace, Bryan C. <>< |

As I told you some months ago I would, I've attached a picture of
the belt you made me in use. It really looks great and I can't
thank you enough for the quality work you put out. Hope you have
a very Merry Christmas
and a fantastic 2011. Brett E. |

Hello Greg
The belts arrived today and WOW they are out right awesome. I love them! I
haven't even put the buckles on them yet, they just hang up while I stare
at them. I belong to a group of Real Bearded Santas (AORBS) I put your
info and website on their web page so if other Santas are looking for a
belt they can call on you hope it works out. Greg Thank You very
very much these belts where well worth the money and you took your time to
make them look great. Greg keep in touch I hope you have great year. Talk
to you soon. Again, WOW GREAT JOB!
David M. |

Greg, Words cannot explain the JOY that the Santa Belt has brought me
and my wife. I am sure that it will have a big impact on the
children and adults that enjoy SANTA. It is just beautiful
and I can't wait to wear it. I can't thank you enough. Thank
You and God Bless You. You have a God given talent.
Thanks
Again, Albert (SANTA)
ps: it is like everybody tells
you ,IT LOOKS EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU SEE IT! |
Got the belt
yesterday. WOW!!!!! It's BEAUTIFUL. The
pictures you sent were one thing. But seeing
it for real was another. I LOVE IT!. It is
exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks
again. You are truly a gifted craftsman.
Thank you and I hope your upcoming holidays are the best. TOM B.

Greg, I received the
belt you custom made for
me yesterday. It is
wonderful. Mrs Claus
said she really really
liked it when I showed
it to her. I really do
appreciate your patience
and help in the design.
I can hardly wait to
receive my buckle so I
can put the two of them
together for a belt that
will not only look great
but be an enhancement to
my Santa suit. Again
thank you. |

Hi
Greg, I received my
belt
on Saturday
and it even exceeded
my expectations. It
looks great and I
couldn’t be more
pleased.
Thanks for your
great work, Kevin |
|
The belt has exceeded my expectations.
It is more beautiful than I had expected
or imagined. I cannot thank you
enough for the outstanding work.
Can't wait until I put it on with the
Red Suit. But that will not happen
until 19 November.
Again, thanks.

Bravo Greg! This belt is amazing
and even more beautiful than any of your
images depict. Johnathan |
Hi Greg, I got home late last night from our daughters wedding in
Florida . I new from your e-mail the belt would be at our home before me . Even though I had a great time my mind was on seeing your creation. The wait was killing me but well worth it, absolutely stunning and great craftsmanship it's truly a Santa belt. Some of my ideas and your insight brought every thing to life. I really love the wide belt keep with the Praying hands and the Cross in the upper corner it says every thing about the reason for the season. My first gig is Thursday and I can't wait to see what people think, I will send you some pictures in full dress , thank you very much it was a pleasure talking to you and working with you on this again thanks and God bless . Santa Guy

Greg,
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
I
received
my
belt.
It
is
truly
a
work
of
art.
I am
at a
loss
for
words
to
describe
to
you
how
truly
appreciative
I am
to
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
I
was
out
of
town
when
the
belt
arrived,
my
wife
did
not
open
it
as
she
wanted
me
to
open
it
knowing
how
excited
I
was
to
be
getting
it .
When
I
opened
the
box
I
was
taken
back
by
how
truly
beautiful
the
belt
was
to
have
and
to
hold.
Now
I
cant
wait
to
get
the
buckle
so I
can
get
my
suit
on.
Thank
you
again,
Randy |
I

Greg, Just received my belt, bell holders, and pouch! You are absolutely AWESOME!!!! I was almost in tears (I know - right - a grown man crying over some leather). You are a fantastic, gifted, craftsman and I will always be in debt to you for helping me and everyone else you serve - all of us Santa's bring the magic back into the world.
I am so thrilled.....thank you. Santa Jon

Hi Greg, We have received the package safely. Your work can only be described as outstanding, you have a God given talent, and I consider myself
lucky to have a piece of that. The Santa Belt and Bag will certainly outlast me and I am sure it will be handed down as a family heirloom.
You cannot imagine the anticipation, my wife and I experienced as we opened the package and we were really blown away by the quality
and weight of the leather the finish was just superb it was certainly worth the wait. I have not seen a belt like this in Australia and I feel privileged to own it. Many Thanks, Steve.

Thanks Mike for all the recommendations to
other Santas !!! |
My Santa season was a great success
due in
part to my new belt. I didn't do a Santa appearance that someone did
not comment on my belt.
The craftsmanship is second to none. I look forward to ordering
another belt and the new buckle you are creating.
Again, Thank you. Santa Smith |

Hi Greg, Christmas was a very busy period this
year. I received the belt just in time, and it was magnificent. I really love the work you put into
making this belt. I received a lot of positive responses from people who saw the belt.
There's a photo attached of two girls in a local shop who wanted their picture
taken with Santa. Martin S. |

The Secret of Being Santa!
A post is going viral from a mother of
two boys, sharing the most magical way
to transform a seasonal problem for
parents, when having the Santa chat.
It’s that time of year
where some parents find themselves in
the heartbreaking position of telling
their kids there’s no such thing as
Santa. Whether it’s a jerky fifth grader
on the bus ruining the fun or a child
old enough to put it all together on
their own, it’s sad and the end of an
era. There’s also the worry that you’ll
do it “wrong” and traumatize your child
by telling them the truth.
Enter a mom who shared a
wonderful idea for breaking the news
that you’ll want to save for when the
time comes at your house.
Christy Hutchison posted
on Facebook about the method she came
across online to tell kids there’s no
Santa (gulp.)
And it’s pretty much
perfect.
In their family, they
have a special way of transitioning the
kids from receiving from Santa, to
becoming a Santa. This way, the Santa
construct is not a lie that gets
discovered, but an unfolding series of
good deeds and Christmas spirit.
When they are 6 or 7,
whenever you see that dawning suspicion
that Santa may not be a material being,
that means the child is ready.
Hutchison suggests taking
them out “for coffee” at the local
wherever. Get a booth, order drinks, and
the following pronouncement needs to ne
made:
“You sure have grown an
awful lot this year. Not only are you
taller, but I can see that your heart
has grown, too. [ Point out 2-3 examples
of empathetic behavior, consideration of
people’s feelings, good deeds etc, the
kid has done in the past year]. In fact,
your heart has grown so much that I
think you are ready to become a Santa
Claus.
You probably have noticed
that most of the Santas you see are
people dressed up like him. Some of your
friends might have even told you that
there is no Santa. A lot of children
think that, because they aren’t ready to
BE a Santa yet, but YOU ARE. Tell me the
best things about Santa. What does Santa
get for all of his trouble? [lead the
kid from “cookies” to the good feeling
of having done something for someone
else]. Well, now YOU are ready to do
your first job as a Santa!”
The trick here is to make
sure you maintain the proper
conspiratorial tone.
Then have the child
choose someone they know… a neighbor,
usually. The child’s mission is to
secretly, deviously, find out something
that the person needs, and then provide
it, wrap it, deliver it… and never
reveal to the target where it came from.
Being a
Santa isn’t about getting credit, you
see. It’s unselfish giving.
“My oldest chose the
“witch lady” on the corner. She really
was horrible… had a fence around the
house and would never let the kids go in
and get a stray ball or Frisbee. She’d
yell at them to play quieter, etc–a real
pill.”
“He noticed when we drove
to school that she came out every
morning to get her paper in bare feet,
so he decided she needed slippers. So
then he had to go spy and decide how big
her feet were. He hid in the bushes one
Saturday, and decided she was a medium.
We went to Kmart and bought warm
slippers.”
He wrapped them up, and
tagged it “merry Christmas from Santa.”
After dinner one evening, he slipped
down to her house, and slid the package
under her driveway gate. The next
morning, we watched her waddle out to
get the paper, pick up the present, and
go inside. My son was all excited, and
couldn’t wait to see what would happen
next. The next morning, as we drove off,
there she was, out getting her
paper–wearing the slippers.
He was ecstatic. I had to
remind him that NO ONE could ever know
what he did, or he wouldn’t be a Santa.
“Over the years, he chose
a good number of targets, always coming
up with a unique present just for them.
One year, he polished up his bike, put a
new seat on it, and gave it to one of
our friend’s daughters. These people
were and are very poor. We did ask the
dad if it was ok.”
“The look on her face,
when she saw the bike on the patio with
a big bow on it, was almost as good as
the look on my son’s face.”
When it came time for her
second son to join the ranks, her oldest
came along, and helped with the
induction speech.
Hutchison says that both
her sons are excellent gifters to this
day, and never felt that they had been
lied to… because they were let in on the
Secret of Being a Santa.
