Tips for a Great Santa Visit

So you want a visit from Santa? We want Santa's visit to be very special so here are a few tips to assist you in getting the most out of your time! Santa will do all in his power to make it special for you and your guests; Please let him know your wishes in advance so he can be prepared. Please provide a cell phone number of someone at the event who will have it on. Santa will call ten minutes before he arrives.

Have someone outside to meet Santa – to show him the way and to load toys into his sack if needed. Also to coordinate arrival, parking, and/or presents to be carried in by Santa, his entrance, seating, and the introduction of children (don’t forget to send Santa a list of names).

An interesting background such as Christmas tree, un-lit fire place, Christmas cards, wreath or nativity scene makes photos more memorable. Leave room around Santa’s chair for others to gather for group photos. Make sure lighting is adequate for Santa to read the Christmas story and package names. Place Santa’s Chair so it has a great holiday background for photos. Leave room behind for group photos.

Usually after the gifts are opened the children’s interest shift from Santa to what they received. Once the “Magic” of Santa’s presence has worn off it’s time for him to depart. Keep the children together and occupied to give Santa a few minutes for his departure.
