2. Familiarize your little one with Santa by reading books, watching movies and explaining why he’s visiting from the North Pole.
3. Help your kids prepare a wish list of must-have items for Christmas, so they’re ready when Santa asks.
4. Don’t fret! There’s additional seating that can be arranged so kids may sit next to Santa instead of on his lap.
