Santa story time

Santa was very interactive and gave each child a special time to say what they wanted for Christmas or just for a chat ! Brought cookies, candy canes, and bells for the kiddos as well! Will be using him again for next year at my program.😊

Mrs Claus had a great time last evening and so did Santa. The only thing that would have made it even better would have been to tell a story. Maybe next year if we get to visit again we can do that…
