Santa in PA

Santa Kevin is in PA for the season. Mrs. Claus was there for his dry run on Wednesday, November 26th, but had to go back to the North Pole to keep the elves and reindeer company.
I thought an interview with Santa Kevin might be nice, so he was kind enough to give me an exclusive:


Santa Kevin, why do you celebrate as Santa all year long?
I’m pleased to share some insights into my year-round commitment to embodying the spirit of Santa Claus. My motivation stems from a profound desire to bring joy and positivity to individuals of all ages. It is gratifying to witness the transformation of a challenging day into a brighter one by simply sharing a moment of cheer and connection. This dedication to spreading happiness is a core part of who I am.
Let’s find out your favorite Christmas traditions:
Reflecting on cherished Christmas traditions, I find particular joy in the following personal favorites that truly encapsulate the holiday spirit for me:
* **Film:** *Elf*
* **Music:** The classic ‘Jingle Bells’ and the inspiring hymn ‘Go Tell It on the Mountain’.
* **Treats:** The simple delight of a sugar cookie or a classic chocolate chip cookie.
* **Reindeer:** Naturally, Rudolph holds a special place.
As Christmas approaches, what do you look forward to, and is it any different since you celebrate all year?
While my dedication to spreading festive cheer remains constant throughout the year, the official approach of the Christmas season brings an amplified sense of anticipation. I particularly look forward to the vibrant display of lights that adorn our communities and the ubiquitous sounds of holiday music that permeate the atmosphere, enhancing the joyful ambiance.
You meet other Santas in online group chats as well as out in public. What do you enjoy best about meeting them?
I frequently engage with a wonderful community of fellow Santas, both through online forums and in person. These interactions are invaluable, as I greatly appreciate hearing their diverse stories and learning about the unique ways each individual contributes to brightening others’ days. It truly reinforces the collective positive impact we strive to achieve together.
On December 26th, what is your ideal way to unwind and relax?
Following the culmination of the festive season on December 25th, my ideal way to unwind and rejuvenate on December 26th involves cherished quality time with my family and a period of quiet reflection through reading my Bible. This allows for a personal recharge and spiritual grounding after a busy and fulfilling period.
Thank you for the opportunity to share these reflections.
Warm regards,
Kevin Miles
