Children’s home visit
Santa Carlucci and Jenny Claus’ children’s gift giving home visit can be quite simple or very elaborate depending on time and available props. A typical home visit is 1 hour and can accommodate up to 10 children, more than that reduces the ‘show time’ portion of the visit. Anything over 12 children requires more than an hour and we will discuss this as needed. The children home visit consists of 5 basic sections: Intro meet and greet, show / story time, naughty / nice info, Christmas wishes and gift giving, and family photo taking. Santa will discuss the visit with you making sure your understand what your visit will be like. He will explain what he will do and what you need to do to make the visit extra special.
The use of props such as the baby reindeer bell collar, the magic whistle for calling the reindeer, the reindeer training harness, reindeer flying dust, phone calls on the Santa Sleigh phone, and the famous Naughty and Nice List are all included in the base price of the visit. He will also describe optional add on services like the North Pole communicator, reindeer and sleigh, llamas or face painters as your needs apply.
Show time is variable and different for each visit and is always entertaining for all. This is the time when Santa and Mrs Claus tell stories, show a little North Pole magic, or have interactive fun time with all the children and guests. Past shows have been centered on world wide traditions of Christmas, children toys then and now, where did we get the symbols of Christmas, elves and how they help with Nice and Naughty entries, and even pictures of baby reindeer from the North Pole.
Gift giving is always the highlight of the visit. Given by the party giver and picked up by Santa before the party starts, a single gift per child is typical. But before handing out gifts Santa checks his Naughty and Nice list to see if all the children have been good. This is always the highlight of the visit and the distinguishing trademark of Santa Carlucci. Then its time for each child to pick up a gift, tell Santa their favorite gift for under the tree, a photo with Santa and Mrs and let the opening of gifts begin!
When all the gifts are opened, Santa and Mrs Claus will stay for family pictures and then we are off to the next family.
We will usually speak about the visit initially on the phone to get a basic overview of what your needs are and what our needs are. When we agree on the basics I follow up with a booking agreement by email that has details about the visit. You fill in the necessary info, agree to the terms of the agreement and return it to me by email. I send you back an agreement notice and the formal booking time slot assignment is made. No bookings are done verbally. Depending on the visit, a 50% deposit may be required. Payment in cash, electronic, or credit card are the only forms of payment accepted.
Adult’s home visit
Santa Carlucci and Jenny Claus’ adult gift giving home visit is almost identical to the children’s visit with adult variations in entertainment. A typical home visit is 1 hour and can accommodate up to 10 adults, more than that reduces the ‘mingling’ portion of the visit. Anything over 15 adults requires more than an hour and we will discuss this as needed. The adult home visit is less structured but can consist of 5 basic sections: Intro meet and greet, mingling, naughty nice info, gift giving, and photo taking. Most parties are theme based or have a special purpose like neighborhood gathering, birthday or anniversary, retirement or other special occasion. Since each visit is unique, Santa tries to tailor it to the needs of the party giver. Santa and Mrs Claus have many costumes that include Classic red velvet and fur, Old World hooded green robes, Modern Embroidered Robes, Uptown and Downtown couture, Summer Casual and Pool Swimwear, and even Santa Pirate garb to meet the varied style requirements of your party.
Mingling with guests, Santa and Mrs Claus have lots of options to keep the party going. Santa’s Naughty and Nice Scanner App on his phone combined with the North Pole Communicator or the Naughty and Nice List Journal always is a party favorite. Adult humor and classic North Pole anecdotes while mingling with the party goers always brings out a fun way of enjoying the party environment. Festive hats, props like Santa’s Reindeer Harness, balloon reindeer antlers, and even the Christmas Tree Toss game are all included with the base price of the visit. Santa will also describe optional add on services like the North Pole communicator, reindeer sleigh or llama photos, piano singers, or body painters as your needs apply.
Gift giving is as varied as the party type. But Santa likes to incorporate at least a gander into the Naughty and Nice list for each person before hand to see if the person deserves the gift. This is always the highlight of the evening since it becomes an exposing look at the person and can be quite alluring or uncomfortable based on what Santa has in his book. Gifts can be as simple as gift cards or bottles of fine wine, money or checks, or the trip of a life time. Let Santa know about the gifts so he can accommodate the appropriate gift giving ceremonial monologue. Gift giving usually is photo taking time with each gift recipient. Once gifts are handed out and opened, Santa and Mrs Claus will stay for friend and family pictures and then we are off to the next family.
