Santa Visit Tips

  1. Please have a parking spot available for Santa. It should be nearby but not in view of the guests. A couple of trash cans placed in a parking spot is usually enough.
  2. Santa will need a sturdy chair without arms. A straight backed dining chair will work fine. Leave a bit of room behind the chair for family photos if possible.
  3. Make sure that your cameras are charged and ready to go. Try to avoid “back lit”  background areas for your pictures such as a window (during the day) or a plain white wall. these backgrounds will cause your camera or cell phone to give poor results. A Christmas Tree makes for a pretty background.
  4. If you have gifts to be passed out be sure that they have labels that are easy to read. Santa REALLY appreciates a helper that can call out the names! My Santa bag is quite large at 1m x 1m but if you think they won't fit, let me know as I also have smaller Santa bags we could also use.
  5. Make sure that all of your guests have arrived before Santa makes his entrance. I will contact you 5-10 minutes prior to my arrival.
  6. This suit is very warm. I wear an ice vest, but if the visit is inside, please make sure there is air conditioning or a fan PLEASE.
  7. Please ensure dogs are not in the room as my large stature, ringing bells and excitement can upset some dogs at first.
  8. Santa will take all reasonable care during the visit but is not responsible for accidents, injuries, or property damage.
