About Santa

My name is Phil Gurganus, and “I Know Santa”! There is a good reason for that. I am Santa Phil, and I might just be the “REAL” Santa. Many years ago, it was decided that the world was changing and growing so much that there was more work than anyone Santa could do.

The Soul of Christmas

Santa and the other descendants of St. Nicholas joined together to make sure the love, joy, blessings, and the true meaning of Christmas would reach everyone everywhere. We made a vow never to disclose who the “real” Santa is but, rest assured that we all have the same heart and soul of Christmas.

The Joy of Laughter

It is up to every boy and girl to decide who “Santa” is in their own heart. We are all real Santa’s as long as we have a love for children, a heart for giving, the joy of laughter, a belief in our creator, and, like St. Nicholas, the desire to follow in the footsteps of the first Gift and Giver, Jesus Christ.

The True Calling

After 17 years in law enforcement, I became tired of dealing with the naughty list and decided to change my focus to the nice list. Diane and I have always been “Christmas Crazy,” and we have collected Santa figures for many years. I just transformed into one of those figures and became Santa Claus. We consider it a “calling” and an extension of our ministry.

Mrs. Claus

Not just Santa's right-hand girl, she's a jolly and cheerful lady on her own. She helps with visits, teaches workshops and has written a book titled, "Mrs. Claus: More than just a Hot Cookie!" to help ladies on their jolly journey. It's a book that gives information, inspiration and ideas, woven with her unique humor!

The Christmas Cottage

Bring the family and have some fun with Santa & Mrs. Claus in a cozy, safe, fun, Christian environment. Don't forget the furry, four-legged family members!
