Papa Santa ( Jeff Germann ) is a Real Bearded Santa and has years of experience working with children.

Papa Santa was the official Santa Claus at the Branson Landing in Branson MO in 2006, He was chosen above many other Santas for their very first Christmas Season. Papa Santa welcomed thousands of children of all ages at his "Christmas Tree House". Families sat for photos with Santa Claus, or they just made sure Santa was brought up to date on what they would like to find under their Christmas Tree on Christmas Morning.

After spending years listening to friends and family tell him that he would make a great Santa Claus, Jeff purchased a professional Santa Claus Suit and a sack of toys and visited the hospitals in Springfield MO, as well as a visit to the Ronald McDonald House, delighting the little kids as well as the parents of children who had to spend Christmas at the Hospital. Jeff was also asked to be the official Santa Claus for The Young Astronaut Club of Springfield MO.

Not content with even the high quality of the professional Santa Suit he purchased, Papa Santa designed his own Santa Suit and commissioned a professional seamstress to complete his original design. (Pictured above)

Papa Santa was asked by the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce to return to Branson to take part in a Promotional Video and Photo Shoot titled "Even Santa Vacations in Branson". Papa Santa and 10 other Santas visited and played for two days in many familiar spots throughout Branson, including The Branson Belle, The Jim Stafford Show, Silver Dollar City and the Branson Landing.

Jeff Germann spent 7 years before becoming Santa Claus performing historical portrayals. As a former member of American Leaders Inc., Jeff portrayed the great American leader, Davey Crockett. Donating his time to schools, churches and home school groups; Jeff, as Davey Crockett, delivered "first person" presentations teaching children about our great American Heritage. He did this by telling stories "on hisself" about the wonderful and fun exploits and adventures of the Hero of the Alamo.

Papa Santa not only believes in the "Magic of Christmas" but also the "Reason for the Season". In addition to delivering the historical traditions of Christmas ranging from St. Nicholas to Father Christmas, Papa Santa endeavors to bring to children of all ages, the True Gift of Grace, The Son of God, sent to us on the very first Christmas 2,000 years ago.
