I decided I wanted to do something special for Christmas cards this year and take pictures of Santa with my furry crew. Santa was great. He was so good with my pup, Skye, and he gave out a hardy “ho ho ho” when my pony decided to eat hay instead of pose for pictures. Both of the photographers mentioned several times how much fun it was to have Santa join us and how much he added to the experience. He was cheery, professional, flexible, patient, and …well, he was Santa.

Response from Chris Kringle Johnston:
Thank you, Vicki, for this different way to express Santa! It was a wonderful time!
Last year, I decided to surprise my family of 14 with a visit from Santa. 10 adults and 4 littles.
We all heard a loud knock at the door with a resounding Ho Ho Ho!
Santa came in with a big bag on his back. Everyone’s eyes lit up especially the littles.
He chatted with the kids and kept them engaged for almost 45 minutes. He passed out presents to the littles and had a red glow magic thumb trick that enthralled the littles.
Santa then pulled his uke out of his bag and we all sang 3 Christmas songs. It was magical and the best thing I’ve ever done for my family!

Ms. Vicki,
I'm certain I got as much out of visiting with your "littles" as they did seeing Santa! Thank you so much for the opportunity to make their Christmas special!
