✨ My name is John… and I’m a storyteller. ✨ Some folks know me as Santa Papa John, but at the heart of it all, I’m a storyteller. If my mom, my sister, and my dad were looking down right now, they’d probably laugh and say, “This is the guy who used to hate English… and now look at him.” And here I am — reading stories, creating stories, and sharing smiles, giggles, and laughter with thousands of people around the world. 📖 I write stories that inspire. 💛 Stories that give hope. 😊 Stories that make people smile. I don’t want to change the whole world… I just want to give people a moment to laugh. A moment to feel lighter. A moment to believe there’s still good out there. My stories might be about a cookie 🍪 Or a polar bear 🐻‍❄️ Or even a penguin who thought he could help pull Santa’s sleigh 🐧 And no — they’re not just Christmas stories. They’re life stories, meant to inspire and uplift all year long. So give me a chance. Come listen. Let me read you a story. Because maybe… just maybe… We can change the world one smile at a time, one story at a time. 🎅 Santa loves you. Ho ho ho ❤️

Santa Papa John is feeling thankful for friendships, small life changes, and how those little shifts can bring big happiness. 📆 336 days till Christmas — and yes folks, the joy continues all year long. Last night’s Storytime had people giggling, smiling, and even craving cookies 🍪 (true story — a doctor and psychologist said the stories felt so real they wanted to eat what Santa was describing!).

Ho, ho, ho folks — it’s Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday! ❄️🎄 A fresh dusting of snow, a brand-new day, and yes… 338 days till Christmas (because Santa never stops counting 😉). Today’s message is simple but powerful: step out of your own way. How many times have we been one thought, one choice, or one brave step away from opening the next door? Today’s the day to flip that switch, move forward, and choose happy over grumpy. Santa’s doing it — and he’s inviting you to do it too. Let’s carry a bag for a senior, open a door for someone behind us, and share a smile with someone we don’t even know. Those little moments? They change lives. And to our veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice — you are always in Santa’s heart. ❤️ To our seniors, thank you for the stories, the wisdom, and the joy you bring when we simply stop and listen. Today, we’re changing attitudes one smile at a time — starting with our own. Choose cheerful. Choose positive. Create some giggles. Santa believes in you. 🎅✨ Ho ho ho!
