Ok...

I have a good friend named Steve Myers. For over twenty years, Steve has entertained literally thousands of kids and families as a professional "Santa Claus."

His suit, hat, belt and boots are authentic and hand-made. His wig and beard were designed and made...hair by hair...by the same lady who made the hair and beard for Tim Allen in the movie "The Santa Claus." The whole reason for this is to give his clients the best looking Santa Claus for their dollar...a most authentic possible experience, because Steve believes that if you are going to do something, do it absolutely 100 percent correct.

Steve has a website that he has personally designed. There's nothing that is not on that site that Steve has not written himself. The photos...some taken by me...show the true example of his professionalism.

Now, comes along an individual who both Steve and I know. This individual is advertising himself as a "Santa for many years," but this is his FIRST YEAR. He's advertising that he'll do shows for free, because "he believes in seeing a smile in children's eyes." But I want you to look at something. This is the "About Santa" page that Steve has created...read it over carefully...

****NOW***

Look at this page that this copycat has created....

http://www.therealclaus.com/About_Santa.html


It burns me up that this obvious fraud can't even come up with his OWN DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION. VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CUT AND PASTED OFF OF STEVE'S SITE!

Hey...I know...It's a stupid santa clause site that people will rarely go to, and yes, someone will actually waste their money by booking this fraud. But it's the simple fact that this guy is doing nothing more than riding the coattails of someone who, for the lack of a better term, is a "true" Santa Claus.

Do you want to book a party with an individual who will obviously steal from others?

Just ask him to send you a copy of what his FACE looks like. I'm sure Wal-Mart got their $3.50 for a fake fiber beard.

Research wisely, folks...You get what you pay for.

Since I am sure you are a target of copycats all the time, I am glad to here it upsets you. That means I am not alone. I notice lately that Steve has a banjo on his face.
