December 14, 2020Out of this world experience!
I knew having Santa come visit us at our home would be great, but North Texas Santa was NEXT LEVEL!! I don't know who was more excited, the 2 7 year olds, the 4 year old or the parents. We cannot stop talking about it. He was here for 1 hour and with it was perfect for 3 little boys. He read stories from the coolest books that he brought. He talked to them and gave them each a little gift that I provided. We all took pictures and we made memories that will last us all a lifetime. It was simply AMAZING. I highly recommend to do this at least once. You will not be disappointed and your children will be over the moon!

What to expect
A visit from North Texas Santa can include a wide variety of activities.
Photo visits with Santa are always welcome either with a professional photographer or by families with Smart phones.
(Did you know the number one selfie subject on FaceBook is people with Santa?)
You can also request Storytelling, A Christmas trivia game (How well do you know Christmas?) during his visit. He will lead these activities as requested.
If a tree lighting is part of your event, Santa will help lead the countdown and make a proclamation if requested.
Santa will arrive at your location a few minutes ahead of time to get prepared for his entrance. He will sit wherever you request and suggests you have a sturdy chair or bench for him to sit on. A holiday setting or backdrop always makes for a nice
image.
Additional booking notes
To help you in making Santa’s visit a most enjoyable event, here is a list of suggestions.
1. Have your camera/s ready. Be sure to have all the memory cards, thumb drives, film (if you still use that)and batteries necessary to take the photos you want, or need to get. Be sure all batteries are charged.
2. Santa will text you five minutes before he arrives. To make parking easier, his Number One Elf will be dropping him off, and taking the sleigh over to a nearby pasture so the reindeer can have a snack, and retuning to pick him up at the appointed time after his visit.
3. A host should meet Santa when he arrives: to assist him; to escort him to the location of the event. If there is a balance or payment due to Santa, place it inside a Christmas card or envelope. Never give Santa money in front of children or anyone. It can ruin the magic of the moment. The host or coordinator meeting Santa outside should take care of any final payments that are due, before Santa enters.
4. If you are including presents in your celebration, have your gifts ready. Santa normally does not bring any candy canes or gifts with him. He will hand out your candy and gifts and can carry in one bag of presents for children or guests, about 40 pounds. Presents 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 transfer the gifts to his “official” Santa Bag. If you have more than one bag, check with anta and see if there is a way to have the gifts near his chair before he arrives or if there is a way for you to have “helpers” to bring the extra gifts in after he enters.
5. Get everyone together, before Santa enters. Timing is everything. You have scheduled Santa for a set amount of time, which begins the minute he arrives. Unless otherwise arranged, he will not be able to stay longer than he has been booked for. If everyone is scattered around the house or office, you loose valuable time. Santa and you can coordinate. He will text you when he is five minutes away from arriving. That’s yourcue to get everyone together If you have a large group of children to see Santa, you should assign someone to be Santa’s helper, and to hand him the presents.
6. Have a sturdy chair for Santa to sit in. Folding chairs and low chairs (the one’s you sink into) are not good. Santa usually likes a chair that is sturdy and stable. A good straight-back dining chair, with no arms, works well. He should be able to sit comfortably and the chair needs to support him plus a “child” on each knee.
8. Place the Chair near your Christmas tree or in a holiday setting. Your photos will have more impact when the background has a festive look. 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. Fireplaces do look nice but remember putting Santa too close to a real fire is not good for his comfort or health!
9. Think about photos with everyone. Yes, some teenagers might think it is too childish, to have 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 Santa can take group photos with all the ladies or a “Team” photo with the guys.
And yes! Santa loves “Selfies!”
Fact: More photos of Santa show up on Facebook than almost any other celebrity.
