Santa Claus…Santa is
more to me than a fellow in a red cap sporting a white fluffy beard. He is the embodiment of childhood which is a
time when all seems possible, the world still seems like a good place to be,
and there is a tiny inkling of magic lurking in each crevice of a season marked
by joy, hope, love, and peace. Last year
was the very first Annual Santa Experience (even though we hadn’t decided to
call it that at first) and was something that we thought could be a fun thing
to do during the holiday season. We
never imagined it would become its own entity far outside that of DJMdesigns
Photography and what my vision originally was…instead it became something much
bigger than the entire business.
The Santa Experience is
something that will embody a full one-on-one interaction with Santa and that
will involve more than just a few moments on his lap in an over-crowded mall somewhere. With our Santa there are no lines to be
waited in (and as we no small children LOVE waiting in line for a long time),
there is no rush, and best of all no pressure to sit on Santa’s lap at all. It is our goal to let children be who they
are, acclimate to Santa in a way that they can feel comfortable, and walk away
with a positive experience that they will remember for the rest of their
lives. But most of all, we want them to
want to come back and see us year after year and perhaps someday their
children, too.
That isn’t all though, our
Santa is accepting wish lists and letters with the intention of writing
back. We want this to be about
community, family, and all that is important about Christmas. We want our Santa to pave the way for a
positive fun-loving experience that is just a little something more than a five
second moment on his knee and a “see you next year” sort of deal. We want it to be magical; we want it to feel
real…and we want children to get a chance to be children in a time when
sometimes it doesn’t seem possible for that to happen.
There is just one more
thing that we think is really we want everyone to know about our drawing each
year that will land some lucky families a visit from Santa on Christmas Eve
right at their front doors just as one more thing that makes us part of this
community! So stop on by our reservation
links or call ahead to see when you can come pay your deposit for your child’s
special time with Santa. We would like
to become your new tradition each holiday season! Please feel free to visit our website and
