| The Santa Claus Oath
I will seek knowledge to be well versed in the
mysteries of bringing Christmas cheer and good will to all the people that I encounter in
my journeys and travels.
I shall be dedicated to hearing the secret dreams of both children and adults.
I understand that the true and only gift I can give, as Santa, is myself.
I acknowledge that some of the requests I will hear will be difficult and sad. I know in
these difficulties there lies an opportunity to bring a spirit of warmth, understanding
and compassion.
I know the real reason for the season and know that I am blessed to be able to
be a part of it.
I realize that I belong to a brotherhood and will be supportive, honest and show
fellowship to my peers.
I promise to use my powers to create happiness, spread love and make fantasies
come to life in the true and sincere tradition of the Santa Claus Legend.
I pledge myself to these principles as a descendant of Saint Nicholas the gift giver of
Myra.
