The Real Black Santa, Atlanta

The Real Black Santa’s resident Father Christmas, Santa Dee, spreads yuletide cheer by posing for seasonal photo ops with holiday revelers. During photo sessions, shutterbug elves capture perfect poses with their jolly boss before cranking their magical photo machine to churn out prints. Patrons who opt for this deal’s third option leave with a CD of the day’s photos, suitable for emailing to family members or taping to Facebook.

Unlike conventional mall Kris Kringles, The Real Black Santa’s Dee clothes his face in a full beard of real, white whiskers. He also carries advanced master certification from the International School of Santa Claus, having displayed expertise in the art of imitating St. Nick and the willingness to check his list twice for grammar and spelling.
