Cliff Snider is a husband, father, and grandfather who for the last forty-five years has spent his Christmases dressed as Santa Claus. In his “real” life he assists hundreds of artists in the production and marketing of their creative efforts. In Santa’s Journey, the shadow-artist applies his own voice and hand to his creative side. Snider is the signature Santa for Christmas Castle in Jamestown, NC, in an authentic 1832 medieval castle. In 2007, Cliff’s story, “It Must Be Santa,” was featured in "Our State" magazine and his story of “The Praying Santa” aired on “The 700 Club” on Christmas Day.
