Communicate with Santa Roger on the type
​experience you are looking for

Chances are, you’re not looking to get on Santa’s naughty list. Make sure you communicate with  Santa roger in advance about what type of experience you want to have.

Make Sure Santa has room to park his sleigh

When you book a visit from Santa, make sure he has plenty of room to land his sleigh on your property. After all, no one wants their chimney blocked by an airborne sleigh.

Keep background noise at a
minimum during Santa's visit

​During his visit, you don’t want background noise to distract from your child’s time with Santa. A loud TV can make your child feel like they need to scream their question to be heard, which might make them uncomfortable and shy around Santa. Ideally, you should turn off all electronics and even put a be quiet please sign on your front door during Santa’s visit.

Tips for getting good photos

Be sure to have your camera ready when Santa arrives! There are lots of great photo opportunities—with family, with friends, and even with kids. And don’t forget about pets, too! When taking photos with Santa himself, keep in mind that his lap is popular among all ages. If you have more than one child who wants to sit on his lap, it’s perfectly fine to take turns. Make sure you have a sturdy chair and place Santa near the Christmas tree.  Also have a clear background for pictures you'll treasure for years to come. 

Have Santa's payment ready and be discrete

If you haven't paid Santa in advance, you don't want the kids wondering why you're paying Santa.  The easiest solution is to place the payment in a Christmas card then just hand him his Christmas card when he arrives.
