A Real-Life Santa with a Big Heart to Help Those in Need Shares More Hopes, Dreams and Childlike Faith in New Book
Ed Butchart is "the real thing," a man who not only looks like Santa but lives to bring good cheer to people all year round - not just at Christmastime.
Grand Rapids, MI - A few years ago, Tom Brokaw said it best: This Santa "can only be described as the real thing." With warmth and humor, Ed Butchart shares more stories from his life as a professional Santa Claus in More Pages from the Red Suit Diaries
A lot has happened in Butchart's own life since the release of the first book, The Red Suit Diaries, which garnered much publicity. His beloved "Mrs. Claus" passed away at Christmas - of all times. And yet this real-life Santa still shares the same Christmas spirit revisiting old friends and making new ones. Woven throughout his experiences is a faith - and a joy of giving - that energized Butchart's mission to spread love to all kinds of children and adults.
As president and founder of a year-round ministry, Friends of the Disabled Adults and Children, Butchart focuses on having wheelchairs and medical equipment refurbished for those in need. This ministry has changed the lives of thousands. Of course, after eighteen years, he still serves as Stone Mountain Park's official Santa Claus in Atlanta, Georgia come Christmastime.
More Pages from the Red Suit Diaries is a Christmas classic as Butchart, a real-life Santa brings hope and spreads the Christmas spirit from his heart and life's journey that has instilled only more passion in Santa.
