Advice for parents and Santa Claus organizers.

Seems easy to search through the newspapers, find and invite Santa Claus, smile and that's it… nothing could be more wrong 🙂

Firstly – if you want your visit to be successful, find a good Santa. Dobrego, I mean like this, who knows what his job is and follows the rules. You do not want your beloved child to be presented with gifts by someone who bought the outfit in a hypermarket and courageously shot himself a glass… Forgive me for such sharpness, but unfortunately I have seen many things and heard many about Santa Clauses (intentionally in lowercase) from the industry. It's good if Santa does not smoke, because the smell of cigarettes from Santa's mouth directed directly at children may be unbearable and such a visit will certainly not be fondly remembered. The last, in my opinion, very important issue when choosing Santa is his outfit, which I mentioned a bit above. Of course, I always leave you to evaluate the Santa suit, unfortunately I know, that's what you can find in stores too 20 if 50 PLN is not suitable for professional visits. Wool beard, which does not even try to pretend to be real and the pants stretching in the knees are the worst showcase of alleged Santa Claus. So a good and solid outfit is essential, You can read about other accessories in the Santa outfit section.

Po drugie – In order for Santa to be able to contact your children, he needs to know something about them. I always made an appointment with my parents by e-mail with information about their children, which will be given. And it's not just their names – it is not about a multi-page elaboration either. Some information is important: age, what the kids like , what are they interested in, what they don't want to eat (because who better to convince, that the vegetable is good and healthy (although Santa does know, That is not) than Santa?). Generally speaking, if Santa has even a few pieces of information about children, the more successful the visit can be.

Thirdly – VERY IMPORTANT – if you do “Nicholas” make an appointment with your friends, what kind of gifts you will be giving! There is nothing sadder than a child, who got less from other children or in his opinion the gifts are worse than those, which a colleague got.
Example: Once I had the opportunity to take part in a visit: 2 girls + 1 girl "from friends". When asked what she would like to receive, each of the three girls replied, that a crying BabyBorn doll. Believe me, the saddest face I saw during my visits was that of a girl, which unlike the other two, which received not only BabyBorn dolls, but also a lot of other accessories, a book and a pencil case. I co? She had received a worse gift? Not from my perspective – only conditions, in which she received it, that it was impossible to enjoy such a gift. Please remember this.

Fourthly – give the kids some slack. Often when I come for a visit, I am reminded of my childhood, when parents, at each visit of their friends, bragged about their children, instructing us what we should show. I honestly hated it. If you have had similar feelings yourself, remember about it during your visit, when you try to persuade your child to do something they don't want to do and to sing a song in front of friends and other children which can be stressful. If the child wants to, it will sing by itself, and forcing him to be a poem is not always good, because if you fail, you can only get more stressed…

Actually, I would have these tips and comments yet, that hoho…, but it seems to me, that I said the most important things and no more is needed.

PS. The last one, at the very end with reference to the first point – if you want a sober Santa on your visit, think about it, that others also want and put the glass intended for Santa in the bar… It is true that good Santa Claus will not drink anyway, if you know, that you invited a good Santa, why offend him by offering alcohol ?
