In Person Visits
We want Santa’s visit to be very very special. Here are a few tips to help make your Santa visit merry:

- Have someone outside to meet Santa – to show him the way and to load toys into his sack if needed.
- Have someone outside to meet Santa – to show him the way and to load toys into his sack if needed.
- Plan it so Santa can make a “Grand Entrance” – Have everyone participating in a common task (singing.)
- Place Santa’s Chair so it has a great holiday background for photos. Leave room behind for group photos
- Place payment in a Christmas Card so you don’t have to hand Santa a check or cash and risk a child witnessing the transaction.
- Keep the children together and occupied to give Santa a few minutes for his departure.
For a truly magical experience for your child, send Santa Dan a short note about your children so their visit is personalized and special. Please include in your child’s note their interests, current event that just happen or name of Elf on Shelf if they have one. Send your
children’s note to Santa Dan at SantaDan@michiganssanta.com.
