Holly Jolly Wally created Santa Claus in love and creativity to customize the magic of Christmas for families that want to believe. Modeled on the classic Coca-Cola Santa, Wally is the spitting image of the jolly guy. His suit is made of the finest velvet and fur, He wears big leather boots to keep the snow off his toes. Based in the San Gabriel Valley of California, Santa Claus, Wally Wirick, takes pride in being the most realistic character possible. And... his beard is real! Santa Wally has spent a lifetime nurturing the spirit of childhood and all the imagination that it fosters. Wally retired after 40 years with the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club, and most recently as the Executive Director of the official charity of the students of UCLA…a resident summer camp serving children of need called UniCamp. Wife and business partner, Karen Wirick, has 30 years of experience raising funds for kids' causes, and presently serves as a fundraising executive for a major southland nonprofit. Wally and Karen Wirick really enjoy the artful and careful process of creating Santa. They have developed wonderful props and gadgets with their own hands. The sleigh, the stable truck, suits and more – all reflect the Wiricks' artistic hobbies and creative flair.
