We had the good fortune of connecting with Jerry Czubinski and we’ve shared our conversation below.

What sets us apart from the normal day-to-day is finding something new, inspiring and creative— something to connect Santa and Mrs. Claus to the everyday world, that the children and adults can connect with and believe in the love and magic of the spirit of Christmas. We have chosen “Blue Angel Santa Claus”as our name to spread the Christmas Magic. As an ex-Blue Angel serving on the team from 94-98, I’m able to instill real life experiences into my “Santa Tales,” as well as some of the appearances and events we create or attend. One Event we enjoy doing is the Vietnam War Flight Museum holiday pictures. This is where I get to wear a Flight Suit donned with both Blue Angel and Santa Claus patches, along with my Santa hat, belt, buckle, and fur trimmed boots. I also bring along a full sized Rudolph collar and harness. I also can’t forget a full sized Blue Angel Flight Helmet, flight gloves, jacket and parachute. Children and Aviation enthusiasts are in awe when they get to try on a Real Blue Angel helmet, jacket and gloves. My story for this is Santa wears this when he is conducting Pre-Christmas test flights. A few of the items that we hand out include, a set of Junior Sleigh Pilot Wings, Special Reindeer Shoes that are only used on the Christmas Eve flight, and a baseball card that includes a swatch of flown suit material from one of the test flights or from the Christmas Eve delivery flight. Mrs. Claus even has a used material card. All of these are unique to our brand and push the envelope of the typical Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My beautiful wife Carolyn deserves more credit and recognition than she receives. She is my biggest fan, supporter, cheerleader, best friend, as well as my soulmate. Over the past 30 years she has been by my side supporting me not only as Santa but during some rough times in my 25-year Navy Career. She not only had to raise our amazing kids while I was deployed, but she had to make sure the home front was taken care of, not an easy task. Carolyn’s my Super Hero, my anchor, best friend and my Reality.
