HISTORY
It all started when…
Magic Santa Karl decided to not shave for one year. January 2, 2017 he set down his razor knowing that his beard would come in stark white, just like his grandfathers.
So, for Father's day, what would you get a man with a big soda pop belly and a long white beard? Well...his family bought him a Santa Claus suit. That day, in the middle of June, Magic Santa Karl donned the red suit and headed out to the local grocery store to buy milk and cookies. And that is how his story began.
The pictures above are the ones that started it all. Magic Santa Karl with his two youngest boys on Father's day 2017 and shopping for Santa snacks.
