Santa Rick (imsantarick) from Atlanta, Georgia is a Mr. Claus for hire year round, bringing good tidings and Christmas cheer to everyone he meets. Though Rick plays a common figure, he is an uncommon agent for the role: Santa Rick is Jewish. One could view this as a religious contradiction, but Rick doesn’t see it that way. Kris Kringle is a figure loved and trusted by kids and adults everywhere. To Santa Rick, the holidays aren’t a seasonal tradition — they are a year-round opportunity “to develop hope and a belief that tomorrow is going to be a better day.” #christmas #Santa #santaclaus #santaslap #chanukah #holidays #jewish
