Husband, father and grandfather, Jim Ayo (Santa Claus of Caddo Mills) has called Caddo Mills, TX, home for the last 30-plus years. Upon retiring from the car service industry, Jim began working part time as a bus driver and substitute teacher. Through his constant interactions with children (including those with special needs) and a relatively attractive, all-natural retirement beard, he was inspired to begin his Santa Claus journey.
Now, when he’s not traveling in his RV or attending his grandchildren’s sporting and academic events, he works to bring joy and cheer to Caddo Mills and the greater Hunt County area during the most wonderful time of year.
