Don’t go on the roof. While it’s a great way to impress the family, you can figure out how to surprise your kids as Santa for Christmas without risking a trip to the hospital. Make Christmas morning special and keep Santa alive in your house with these ideas.
Dress Up As Santa
Watch your kids’ eyes widen as they see Santa for themselves. They’ll never forget the magic of Christmas when they see the big man himself outside their window or coming through the door with a bag of gifts. When creating your outfit, don’t miss important elements like the hat and beard. While you don’t have to be a sewing expert, measuring the length of your zippers will help your jacket fit better. Kids pay attention to details, so don’t stick around long—Santa has many kids to see.
Consume Some of the Cookies and Milk
It’s a tradition to leave cookies and milk out for Santa so he can stay energized while delivering gifts. Create a world of wonder for your little ones when you remove bites from the cookies they leave out. Leave crumbs behind so they know how much Santa liked their offering.
Pro Tip: If you don’t want to leave out a full glass of milk, leave out a packet of cocoa instead and tell your kids it’s for Santa. Make the cocoa during the night so they’ll see that Santa drank it.
Leave a Special Gift From Santa
When your kids make their wish list, ask them to put what they want the most at the very top. This can be the gift they get from Santa each year. Don’t put it out until they go to bed on Christmas Eve. Consider using a special bag that represents who brought the gift.
Spill Soot Neat the Fireplace
If you have a fireplace, consider pulling some of the soot out after your kids go to bed to make it look like Santa disturbed it while coming out of the chimney. You can even go as far as to stamp a footprint with it.
Sprinkle Glitter Near Their Bed
The first thing your kids will think about when they wake up on Christmas morning is Santa and the gifts he brought them. You can surprise them even further by sprinkling magical glitter dust near their bed or in a trail leading to the tree. The sight will make them feel like Santa was watching over them while they slept and cared enough to create a magical experience.
Use these tips to figure out how to surprise your kids as Santa for Christmas. You can create an unforgettable experience for your children that they’ll pass down for generations. Provide your kids with the spirit of Santa so they’ll always know what makes this time of year so special.
