Summer Santa Visit

Posted on April 2, 2015

Enjoy a summer Santa visit at the Santa Claus Christmas Store! During your visit, browse the store for personalized ornaments, bright and festive décor, and of course, delicious fudge and cookies. Stop to chat with Santa and take home a souvenir photo of your visit. 5 x 7 prints are $8.99 and only $4.99 for additional copies of the original photo.

Curious how to get a good photo during your Santa visit?

• Schedule a photo for the best time of day for your little one to be social. Avoid visiting before nap time or meal times in order to get happy smiles.
• Ease any nerves by introducing your child to Santa. Slip Santa a note with the child’s name to help!
• Be ready to pull out all the stops – a favorite trinket or something new – to entice your child to look up at the camera.
• Encourage your child to tell Santa something they like or want to show off such as a new pair of shoes or toy.

Bonus tip from Santa himself: If your little one is super nervous around the big guy, Santa is not opposed to helping you be sneaky. He says it may work better NOT to show them what Santa looks like but to hand them over keeping their focus on you for a quick photo before they realize who is holding them. He has a lot of tricks up those red sleeves. Share your tips below!
