This is the second volume of John Voelz' beloved collections of stories, Because I Wear the Suit: Real Santa Stories that Bring a Smile and Tug at the Heart. Professional Santa John Voelz shares a collection of inspiring true stories observed and gathered from behind the beard-moments that are at once hilarious, heartbreaking, profound, and deeply human. A child whispers a secret wish. A grieving mother seeks comfort. A lonely soul finds joy in a simple photo. Through each encounter, Santa becomes more than a holiday icon; he becomes a vessel for hope, connection, and healing.

But this isn't just a book about the Christmas holiday. It's about the mysterious power of compassion, the sacredness of listening, and the responsibility that comes with wearing a symbol of goodness. With warmth, wit, and reverence, Voelz invites readers to peek behind the magic and discover the truth: sometimes the greatest gifts we give aren't wrapped at all-they're shared through presence, empathy, and love.
