Help Noel Green Become Santa Claus

Hello, my name is Noel Green and I want to be Santa Claus.

I've been costuming my entire life; and I'm 52 years. By the time I was 4 years old I was dressing as Santa Claus.

“Fairy tales say that apples were golden only to refresh the forgotten moment when we found that they were green. They make rivers run with wine only to make us remember, for one wild moment, that they run with water.” ― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

The truth is, we inhabit a realm of magic, filled with awe-inspiring wonders. A world crafted by God, brimming with His beauty and resonating with His Truth.

But most of us forget that.

Daily.

We forget to wonder, play, and make-believe. We believe our world is made up of bills, work, and taxes. We forget to have faith like little children.

But...

every once in a while...

we are reminded!

Perhaps it’s a movie or a story that ignites the spark of childish wonder within us, bringing smiles and even tears. It could be witnessing that magic in a child, their pure joy and delight in something as simple as a hug or a smile, or their heartfelt response to a puppy or a sunrise.

Santa Claus is one of those magical sparks.

As Sean Fitzpatrick says in his article, Ten Reasons to Believe In Santa Claus, "As long as there is innocence and wonder in the world, so too will there be Santa Claus. He exemplifies these precious qualities that keep alive the sweet, simple awareness of the benevolent powers that weave through the affairs of men." (Fitzpatrick)

These are just a few reasons I want to "become" Santa Claus!

So... I'm asking for your help again this year!

I raised quite a bit last year (and that first campaign got deleted for non-use hohoho!) and most of the items I have on my list for the suit are still available at the same prices, but I'm still a long way off.

The jacket, pants, and hat alone are nearly $3,000.

Add in the boots, belt, buckle, and shipping for all of it and we're at $5,000+

You CAN remain anonymous if that's a concern.

Thank you all for taking the time to read... and, whether you donate or not, care or not, believe in Santa Claus or not, I hope you have a glorious and merry Christmas and a happy new year!
