–   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.

PLEASE NOTE: The Orlando School will be presented at the end of the week, on Friday and Saturday.  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 may be less stressful if you start early.  The July 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.

This 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.

LODGING – A block of rooms has been reserved at the Hampton Inn & Suites, nearby in, Alamonte Springs. The rate per night is $000 for a single or double occupancy.
