Christmas is a special time, especially for children. They can't wait for their first chance to see Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves, which is usually at the tail end of the local Thanksgiving parade. Kids really believe, and that's why becoming a Santa Claus Charlotte NC kids will love is so important. There is even a school where prospective Kris Kringles learn how to achieve the image and demeanor kids deserve to see.

The school instructors believe their Santas have to understand the significance of their background. A reading of "The Night Before Christmas" is one of the introductions to this iconic character. Most students don't realize that many of the traits most children expect from the man in red come from this famous poem.

All Santas should be consummate gentlemen. Whenever you're in character, you must be judicious in what you do and say. Kris Kringle does not use curse words, tell dirty jokes, or make rude body noises. He is not sarcastic or short tempered with little kids or their pushy parents.

Santas can't really call themselves the spirit of Christmas until they have mastered a wide range of Christmas songs. They are often called upon to lead party goers in song. They must accommodate their hosts graciously. On a positive note, once you have the words to "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer down, you won't have to worry about remembering the names of your reindeer team.

Santas must be ready to answer all kinds of questions. The smaller kids are the more likely they are to come up with questions you would never have thought of. One of the most common questions kids ask is whether or not you're the real deal. Instructors suggest you answer that you are the spirit of Christmas and love. Older kids might question how you get around the world in just one day. You can respond with a short explanation of all the different time zones.

Santas have to know about all the latest gadgets and most popular toys. You can't have a blank look on your face when a little kid asks you about a particular toy. You have to know exactly what he is talking about. School outings to local toy shops teach new Santas all they have to know.

Santas must know how to ho, ho, ho correctly. Instructors say it is a common misconception that Kris Kringle has to have a booming ho, ho, ho that can rattle the rafters. In truth, this presentation can scare little kids to death. Instructors teach students to come out with a more mellow sound that is soothing and fun rather than boisterous.

Santas have to be fastidious. You are going to have close contact with little kids and their parents. That means your suit has to be clean, and your breath has to be fresh. Your cheeks must be ruddy. Adding a dusting of powder to your face will prevent an unpleasant shine in the requisite pictures that will be taken.
