Hear stories too of his encounters with children that brought a tear to his eye or made him roar with laughter. This behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to be Santa will prepare you for your next visit with him and reveal the great joys that being Santa brings.

Discover how you can deliver Christmas magic that helps your child believe in more than just the holiday. If you’re not careful, you just might find yourself believing too!

Behind the Beard

Project Info:

Tara met Billy at a local business group years ago when he was filling in for a friend. She was fascinated by his outgoing nature and friendly confidence.

When he told her that he was an author and had just self-published his book about being a professional Santa, her curiosity got the better of her. She went home, bought the book, and read it in one sitting. Its charming stories and photographs were enchanting, but she realized that with a bit of polish and care, it could be so much more.

Fast forward many years to when Bill and Tara’s paths crossed again at a fundraising event for a local park. They began talking about the book and agreed that an updated and revised version was in order if Billy was going to be able to go any further with it. And he definitely wanted his message to reach a wider audience.

And thus began work on this second edition. The updated stories are just as charming as before, and there are many new photographs to enjoy. But most of all, you can hear how much Santa Buckbee loves what he does and the people whose lives he touches.

It’s been a great pleasure to work on this book, and we are thankful for our small role in the joy this Santa brings to families near and far.
