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.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

I shall be dedicated to hearing the secret dreams of both children and adults.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

I understand that the true and only gift I can give, as Santa, is myself.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

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.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

I know the \u201creal reason for the season\u201d and know that I am blessed to be able to be a part of it.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

I realize that I belong to a brotherhood and will be supportive, honest and show fellowship to my peers.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

I promise to use \u201cmy\u201d powers to create happiness, spread love and make fantasies come to life in the true and sincere tradition of the Santa Claus Legend.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

I pledge myself to these principles as a descendant of St. Nicholas the gift giver of Myra.<\/b><\/em><\/p>
