Santa's arrival...
Listen for the joyful sound of Santa’s sleigh bells! Suddenly, Santa appears with a hearty “Ho, ho, ho!” carrying his gift bag, candy canes, and a copy of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. After warmly greeting everyone, Santa merrily makes his way to the Christmas tree, his special chair, or the designated photo area to begin the celebration.
A Keepsake Photo with the Host
Once everyone is comfortably seated, Santa invites the host or event organizer to join him for a quick keepsake photo.
A little lighthearted holiday humor helps everyone relax, brings a few smiles to the room, and sets a cheerful tone for the remainder of the visit.
Christmas Wishes and Photos
After storytime, Santa spends time chatting with the children. He may ask about their accomplishments, interests, acts of kindness, and Christmas wishes.
Each child can share a wish list, receive a full-size candy cane, and pose for an individual or family photograph. Santa’s goal is to make every guest feel welcomed, comfortable, and included.
Santa’s Gift Presentation
Would you like Santa to distribute gifts during his visit?
The host must provide the wrapped gifts in advance. Each gift should be clearly labeled with the recipient’s name and discreetly placed inside Santa’s gift bag before his entrance.
Santa will call each recipient forward and present the gifts one at a time. When appropriate, Santa may invite everyone to open their gifts together for an exciting Christmas surprise.
Santa A. Claus honors
I will seek knowledge to be well versed in the mysteries of bringing Christmas cheer and good will to all the people that I encounter in my journeys and travels.
I shall be dedicated to hearing the secret dreams of both children and adults.
I understand that the true and only gift I can give, as Santa, is myself.
I acknowledge that some of the requests I will hear will be difficult and sad. I know in these difficulties there lies an opportunity to bring a spirit of warmth, understanding and compassion.
I know the "real reason for the season" and know that I am blessed to be able to be a part of it.
I realize that I belong to a brotherhood and will be supportive, honest and show fellowship to my peers.
I promise to use "my" powers to create happiness, spread love and make fantasies come to life in the true and sincere tradition of the Santa Claus Legend.
I pledge myself to these principles as a descendant of St. Nicholas the gift giver of Myra.
