Ever wonder how a single story can quiet a crowded room and make it glow? We sit down with Santa Stephen to unpack the craft behind holiday magic—from the way he builds a living North Pole in a child’s imagination to how he turns chaotic photo ops into keepsakes that radiate warmth. He shares the heart of his favorite tale, the little bell that could, and why small gestures like a smile or a cookie can guide people through life’s blizzards long after the lights come down.

The conversation lifts from living rooms to Main Street as we follow Santa Stephen through parades, community events, and tree lighting ceremonies that transform neighborhoods into families for a night. You’ll feel the spark of a countdown, the hush right before the lights blaze on, and the ripple of joy as veterans, parents, and kids look up together. We dig into the subtle design behind a great gathering: welcoming imperfection, creating a playful ritual like the Santa Shuffle, and inviting everyone, including skeptical teens and excitable pets, into the circle. Along the way, music becomes our bridge—traditional carols offered in English, Romanian, German, and Spanish—to honor many homes under one winter sky.

If you’re planning a party, a school celebration, or a town festival, you’ll leave with practical ideas on crafting moments instead of agendas. We talk about personalized letters from Santa, intimate home visits with Mrs. Claus, and the small choices that make events feel human: slower pacing, real listening, and an exit that lingers like candlelight.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
