Parking the sleigh: Reserve a special parking place for Santa. Although the real Santa Sleigh is in safekeeping until its big journey on Christmas Eve, Santa needs to be close to your event and to where he is appearing. If he parks down the street or around the corner and has to walk all the way to your home, or office, he might be a bit winded or exhausted when he arrives.
In addition, remember, Santa arrives wearing a heavy velvet suit, a real Santa suit that gets very hot, even in winter. If the visit is at your home, leave an opening at the end of your driveway. Just put a temporary barrier in the space. Use a box, a chair or a sawhorse. Have some fun and put a sign out “Reserved for Santa!”
If your event is at a company facility, office building or hotel, try to arrange for Santa to park in a valet or loading area. Again, you can mark the area with a fun sign. This makes it easier for him to be fresh and ready to bring joy to your guests.
