The Story of Santa Capps

Every Santa has a story. Some begin at the North Pole, while mine begins along the snowy coast of Greenland in 1738... or at least that's the story I've been telling for a very long time. Whether every detail is true or not, I'll leave for you to decide. After all, every good Christmas story deserves a little mystery.

What I can tell you for certain is that before I put on the red suit, I spent my days in a classroom. As an educator, I learned that children may not remember every lesson, but they never forget how someone made them feel. Over time, I realized that every child deserves a Santa who will slow down, listen, learn their name, hear their story, and make them feel important. So I set out to become the kind of Santa I wished every child could meet: a listener, an encourager, and a storyteller.

Today, I have the joy of visiting families and communities throughout Georgia, sharing wonder, kindness, and Christmas spirit wherever I go. Behind the beard is a Christian man who believes the greatest gift ever given was Jesus Christ. My hope is that every child leaves feeling loved, every family leaves with a special memory, and everyone is reminded that the true joy of Christmas is found in Him.

Believing is just the beginning.
