Hello, I am Santa Bubba Manley.  I have been a Santa now for many years.  My first memory of Santa was from my childhood.  I was always mesmerized by Christmas and all of the lights and beauty during this festive season.  One Christmas in particular, we were at church for a Christmas party.  My grandfather was picked to be Santa that year. He was a short, chubby, Scottish man with a fake beard.  As my name was called for a present, I walked up, knowing it was my grandfather, but the closer I got to him, I was fully in the moment of believing he was Santa Claus.  I carry that memory with me every time I put on the suit.

​

I began this journey in a school for special needs children.  I started off with the suit and fake beard.  I am now fully engulfed in the Santa lifestyle.  I began venturing out during the Christmas of 2020 when everyone was still apprehensive about going out around a lot of people.  I did a few house visits.  This was magical. It has grown ever since.  

​

I have visited schools, churches, restaurants, parties, houses, photo shoots, and businesses.  I still work with special needs children and I love to see that each one of these children are engaged with the different aspects of Christmas.  Some love the twinkling lights, some are all about the bells, and some enjoy just sitting back and taking in the wonder of the moment.  I am not the main attraction. I morph into what each child or person needs for this wonderful experience.  

​

Please think of Santa Bubba when you need the magic of Christmas brought to your event.
