The Nice List

The Nice List My name is Isaac. On December 11, 2012, my Uncle Bo left this cruel world after a fight with cancer. Please refer them to this page and to contact me.

WV's official Santa "Cause" to ensure every child knows they are on Santa's Nice List by providing presents during the holidays to families facing an economic crisis. Growing up he always dressed up as Santa for us and for his neighborhood. Years later I would hear him say that he did this because there were kids in the neighborhood that were not able to get to the mall or bank to see the local Sa

nta and "every kid deserves to see Santa." During this conversation with him I promised him that I would try to be Santa per his wish. One year later I had the idea of how I could carry on what he did when I was a child along with my interest in cosplay/causeplay… this time of year can bring out the worst in people: fighting over toys in a store, theft, road rage, etc. Some people may even be too sick or unable to go out and see Santa. Although I work 50+ hours a week, it is my hope that I can bring a smile to at least one person's face each Christmas season by dressing up as Santa and trying to recapture that magic I felt as a child. If you know of anyone, or any organization that is interested in having Santa show up at their home, business, hospital room, etc. I want to honor as many requests that I can.

Ho ho ho! Santa and Mrs. Claus jingled into another cheerful stop today at the Raleigh County Family Support Center, with his sleigh packed to the brim with toys and tidings of joy for children and families in need across southern West Virginia. And don’t you worry - this merry journey is far from over. Santa still has plenty of Christmas magic up his sleeves, and more surprises are on the way!

Santa has officially made his first delivery of the season at Raleigh County United for Prevention for the Healthy Grandfamilies program — and what a joyful stop it was!

But you know Santa… he *never* makes just one stop! There are more visits ahead, plenty of cheer to share, and lots of Christmas magic still on the way.

Be sure to stay tuned to see where Santa and his helpers land next, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone helping make the holiday season brighter for children and families in need.

After speaking with the VP Dave… this event is most likely the final event to help us with our Christmas Wish this year. This will specifically help the Huntington Branches Domestic Violence Center.

Please consider even if you’re not hungry to stop by and drop off one of the donation items that we are looking for that was specifically requested by Branches.

4 years ago I didn’t sleep for over 24 hours.
4 years ago my entire world came to a screeching halt and the only thing that mattered to me was my Mom.
4 years ago I heard grown men break down in tears over the phone, men I had never met before in my life but when they asked “how’s Henry doing!” And I had to say “my Dad passed away earlier his morning”

4 years ago I had to go over to my neighbors house after she called Mom asking what all the ambulances were for this morning and that she hoped everyone was ok… and when I approached the front door she said “don’t be coming over here with no bad news…” and I said “I don’t have any bad news. Dad went to heaven this morning”.

I tear up even writing this. It all happened yesterday for me. And the day before that. And the day before that.

I know it’s Thanksgiving today but for me it’ll always be the blackest Black Friday I’ll ever experience.

The man who taught me to use my strength and resources to provide and support.. the very essence of this charity… to provide and support those that have fallen on hard times… got to hear those words I hope one day to hear 4 years ago this day: “well done good and faithful servant. Now you can rest”

I am thankful for that. - Isaac; President & Founder

Our Founder has started a separate page to help keep this page focused on the charitable acts of your donations and information about our annual Christmas Wish and efforts throughout the year.

We apologize about a lack of posting this year but our founder has been using a very hectic and stressful 2025. VP Santa David Humphreys has done an incredible job of fundraising so far and we can’t wait to see what magic WE can do together with your help!

So if you followed this page for the Christmas memes, to see the crazy ideas Isaac was coming up with, or for the occasional knowledge drop about the traditions of the holidays… most of that is going to be posted first on The Clauseplayer!

Now that I’ve taken care of some personal real life things (including vacation) I’m hoping to post more to this page.

Hi, I’m Isaac the Clauseplayer and Founder/President of The Nice List a 501c3 charity. A quick version of my story is that I chose to become one of Santa’s helpers to continue the legacy of one of my Uncle’s who wished for me to do it for him… if only for one time.

Now I’ve been one of Santa’s Helpers for over 10 years and I’ve learned a lot over the years and I’m still learning. This page will be used to promote that knowledge and love of the holidays that I’ve gathered and to showcase some of my nontraditional variants of Santa that become their own identity (like Sa’an Ta the Jedi Scholar).

I am available for your Christmas Events and Parties under a limited availability. 100% of any funds I receive for my services are considered a donation to the Nice List charity, WV’s Santa “Cause” that myself and others hope to grow across our great state and surrounding areas. Prices vary based on event, time needed, and any other factors that need to be considered.

I hope you’ll consider following and considering me (or one of my friends) for your event! (If I can’t do your event I will gladly try to help you find someone)

🎅 🎅
