HOME VISITS ARE FOR FORT SMITH ONLY THE EVENING (3:00 to 7:00 PM) OF DECEMBER 9

Please read ALL of these instructions. Especially the ones in ALL CAPS!!!

ALSO, BEFORE YOU SCHEDULE A VISIT, PLEASE GO LOOK AT MY CALENDAR here: Calendar

Up to four children will take from 8-12 minutes and costs $255.

5-8 children will take 12-20 minutes and costs $295.

9-13 children will take 25-35 minutes and costs $325.

14-18 children will take 30-40 minutes and costs $355.

You should have SMALL (able to be picked up with one hand) gift for each child, with their name CLEARLY PRINTED (Every year, I go to visits and have either gifts that are too large, or the name is not easily visible or PRINTED) on the outside. NO GIFT BAGS OR TAGS! Leave the presents on the porch or somewhere easily accessible for Santa. IF IT IS RAINING - Leave them inside the garage. Please leave an empty spot in your garage, where Santa can park. Santa will load the gifts into his bag. It works out better if you can have the attendees arrive 15 minutes before Santa does.

When Santa is ready, he'll send you a text. When you reply that you are ready, he'll come around and ring the doorbell. He will play with the children, read a book and sing a few songs with them, and distribute the gifts. As Santa distributes presents, he will have each child sit on his knee. They will talk for a minute, then Santa will turn the child toward the camera and say “Christmas Tree.” PLEASE HAVE ONLY ONE PERSON TAKING PICTURES. That person can distribute all the pictures to everyone else after the event.

Then it's HO-HO-HO, Santa's got to GO-GO-GO! If the event is outside Pulaski County, there is an additional charge for travel.
