Santa Hap will always strive to make your Santa visit a special time – the following hints will help make Santa’s visit a special time for everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Items 1 through 5 should be done well before Santa arrives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. HAVE YOUR CAMERA READY:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure to have all cameras and batteries charged and readily available to take the photos you want. It is recommended that you have one person appointed to direct photo order and posing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. RESERVE A SPECIAL PARKING PLACE FOR SANTA:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be right where Santa is visiting. Remember, Santa is a Senior Citizen wearing a heavy suit that gets very hot. Santa wants to be fresh (and dry) for your visit and photos, parking close will be a great help. About five minutes is reserved for parking. Any more time than that is part of your allotted time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the visit is at your home, leave an opening at the end of your If your event is at a company facility, office building or hotel, try 3. HAVE YOUR GIFTS READY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Santa does not bring any candy canes or gifts with him. He will be happy to hand 4.\u00a0 HAVE A SPECIAL CHAIR FOR SANTA <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Santa likes a chair that is sturdy and stable. A good, 5. PLACE THE CHAIR IN A HOLIDAY SETTING:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe in front of a decorated wall or any festive type of 6. GET EVERYONE TOGETHER BEFORE SANTA ENTERS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Timing is everything. Santa’s contracted time begins the minute he 7. THINK ABOUT PHOTOS WITH EVERYONE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, some teenagers will shy away or think it is too childish to have 8. BALANCE OR PAYMENT DUE TO SANTA:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is a balance or payment due to Santa place it inside a 9. SANTA NEVER BREAKS FROM HIS CHARACTER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is very important and something most adults don\u2019t mean to do.

driveway. Put a temporary barrier in the space. Have some fun and
put a sign out “Reserved for Santa!” or back one car down the
driveway with a space in front. When Santa calls that he is there, whoever greets him outside can pull the car up in the driveway and Santa can park right behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to make arrangements for Santa to park in a valet or loading area.
Again you can mark the area with a fun sign. This makes it easier
for him to be fresh and ready to bring joy to your guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
out your candy and gifts. Santa can carry in one bag of presents
(40 lbs. or less) for children or guests, more than this will require an “Elf” to help. Gifts should be well labeled. We suggest a large black marking pen and writing directly on the gift,
as tags can easily fall off. All packages should fit into one 35-gallon
trash bag. He will then transfer the gifts to his “Santa” bag.\u00a0 If you
have more gifts than will fit in his sack, Santa will usually ask a couple
of the ‘big kids’ (adults) to be honorary Elves and instruct them to
bring in the extra gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sturdy straight-back dining chair with no arms works well. He should
be able to sit comfortably with the chair supporting him plus a child
on each knee. Folding chairs, plastic chairs and low chairs (the one’s you sink into) are not good. Please no recliners, rockers or other chairs that move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
backdrop, and your photos will express the holiday season. Place a wreath, a few Christmas cards or your children’s drawings on the wall to make a wonderful difference. Leave a foot or two between
the chair and the tree or wall. This will allow room for others to gather around and behind Santa’s chair for group photos. While fireplaces make a wonderful background remember Santa is dressed in a heavy, warm suit and is used to a cooler climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
arrives. Minutes spent getting everyone together are part of your contracted time. If everyone is scattered around the house or office, you lose valuable time. Santa and you can coordinate. He
should call you when he is five minutes away from arriving. That’s
your cue to have someone go outside to meet Santa, and for you to
get everyone together and maybe to sing some Christmas Carols. If Santa is to bring in presents, the person meeting him can help him fill his bag. Then, at the right moment, Santa can pop in and join everyone in the singing. If you have a large group of children to see Santa, you should assign someone to be Santa’s helper and coordinate the children as they each visit Santa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a photo with Santa. Don’t worry; Santa can stand up for a “buddy”
photo. What about grandma and grandpa? Take a photo with Santa
and Grandma hugging. And, nothing is more fun than having Santa ask Grandpa if he’s been a good boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christmas card or envelope. It never looks appropriate when
someone gives cash to Santa. So, as Santa is departing, hand him
the envelope and say, “Thank you Santa, and here is a Christmas
card from all of us”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please don\u2019t say things to Santa such as \u201cWhy you\u2019re one of the
best Santas I\u2019ve ever seen\u201d. Don\u2019t ask questions about when he
started playing Santa or where did he get his costumes. It\u2019s very important that you treat Santa Hap as Santa Claus and not as \u200bsomeone that plays Santa Claus. Please help keep the wonder of Christmas for your children and others <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
