**Dear Parents,**
Thank you for inviting Santa Claus to your home! To make the most of my visit and ensure everything goes smoothly, please review and follow these guidelines:
**Arrival and Preparation:**
- **Arrival Time:** Please ensure everyone is ready and settled at least 15 minutes before Santa’s scheduled visit.
- **Parking:** If there is a specific place where Santa should park, please provide clear instructions or reserve a spot close to the entrance.
**Setting the Scene:**
- **Seating Area:** Set up a comfortable and festive seating area for Santa. A sturdy chair that’s easy to get in and out of is ideal.
**Lighting:** Ensure the area is well-lit for photos and video, but avoid harsh lights that may cause glare.
**Decorations:** Feel free to add some holiday decorations to enhance the festive atmosphere!
** Managing the Visit:**
**Gift Organization:** If Santa will be handing out gifts, please clearly label them with each child’s name and place them in a designated area near Santa’s seat.
**Child Supervision:** Ensure children are supervised and ready for their turn to meet Santa. Encourage them to wait patiently and calmly.
**Special Requests:** Inform Santa in advance of any special instructions or requests to avoid last-minute surprises.
**Photos and Videos:**
**Designated Photographer:** Assign a designated person to take photos and videos to keep the process quick and organized. Limit posed shots to ensure everyone gets a turn.
**Group Photos:** If you would like group photos, plan them in advance to ensure everyone is ready when it’s their turn.
**Interaction with Santa:**
**Brief Introductions:** Keep introductions brief so Santa can spend more quality time with each child.
**Questions and Wish Lists:** Encourage children to prepare brief questions or wish lists for Santa to keep the conversation moving smoothly.
**Behavior:** Remind children to be on their best behavior and follow any instructions Santa may give.
**Safety and Comfort:**
**Safety Measures:** Ensure the area is safe and free of obstacles that might cause tripping or accidents.
**Comfort:** Offer Santa a drink of water or keep room temperature lower since his suit does keep him very warm.
**Farewell and Gratitude:**
**Goodbyes:** Encourage children to thank Santa and say their goodbyes promptly to ensure a smooth departure.
**Feedback:** Feel free to provide feedback on the visit to help improve future performances.
I look forward to bringing some holiday magic to your home. Thank you for helping make this visit memorable and special!
Warm wishes
Santa Matt 🎅
