Santa Ben was phenomenal. I am not sure how to put into words how far he exceeded even my highest expectations. He was simply magical. Everything from his interactions, answers to questions, and high level of preparation was incredible. He did not miss a beat and he was incredibly perceptive. Everyone was included. All requests and details were incorporated. He came with more surprises than I ever imagined. I called my family and friends to share how incredible his visit was. We have had visits from others in the past and they were subpar compared to this. There is no Santa better than Ben.
To Ben:
Thank you for spending time with our family and making one of the best memories of my son's life. This was incredible.
