ABOUT
Me
My name is Brendan Low and I've been a lover of Christmas and Santa for as long as I can remember.
Some of my earliest memories involve visiting Santa as a two and three year old and falling in love with the idea of the man in the red suit.
In the years that followed, I would spend the weeks of the school holidays leading up to Christmas, setting up my own Santa displays at home and dressing up in a red shirt and cheap beard pretending to be a shopping centre Santa. As I got older and until the age of twelve, I would also sit out on the footpath out the front of my family and grandparents homes in Toowoomba, waving to cars passing by in my Santa get up. (See the Christmas Past Photo Gallery)
My adult years have never seen me lose my love for the season despite no longer dressing up as Jolly Old Saint Nicholas. That all changed however in 2022 when I decided to get (a pretty average) suit and dress up for my son. I also started writing replies to the letters to Santa that the children in my estate were leaving in the letterbox that made up part of my Christmas light display.
Before I knew it, I'd purchased better quality outfits and had started doing home visits for people in my area and my love for playing Santa Claus was reignited.
I spent 2023 studying an online Santa course and perfecting my role and look in order to launch this very site and business. I have also become Blue Card certified. The 2023 season brought many exciting opportunities including several daycare centre visits, home visits (including one to visit some puppies!) and the honour of being the Santa for the Brisbane Bullets Christmas game. 2024 presented many new exciting opportunities including several more daycare and home visits, concerts and a return to the Brisbane Bullets.
I believe that preserving the magic of Santa for our children is of great importance and I strive to offer a great service to help keep that magic alive for you and your family. Please look over the services I offer and reach out via the Contact & Booking section at the bottom of the page.

My Book
"The Boy Who Became Santa" is a children's book I have written and been working on since 2023 and has finally been published and available to purchase.
The goal of the book is to tackle the subject of why there are so many Santa's in so many places during the festive season and that they can't all be the REAL Santa, while keeping the magic alive for young readers. So even though the Santa they see at the shopping centre at Christmas isn't the real Santa, he's still someone very special that has been personally chosen by the man in red himself.
With gorgeous artwork from the very talented Julian Chan, you can order your copy of "The Boy Who Became Santa" today via Amazon.
Testimonials
We were blessed to have the most special Santa experience last year. The attention to detail in every moment was exceptional.
My child can be a little shy, however Santa was calm, softly spoken and took his cue rather than coming on too strong. As a result they were chatting happily within minutes.
I'd never considered a Santa experience before but I'm so glad I did. Looking forward to organising another this year.
