Santa visit tips
What to Tell Santa Before a Home Visit
The best Santa visits feel like Santa already knows the family. That only works if you tell him what to know. Send these details a few days ahead.
The essentials
- Each child's first name, age, and how to say any unusual name
- Pets' names (a Santa who greets the dog by name wins the room)
- One thing each child did well this year
- Where the gifts are hidden, and which gift goes to whom
- Arrival time, where to park, and which door to use
Things to leave out
Santa doesn't need school names, last names or anything that would worry you if it were overheard. Keep it warm and simple.
