The idea of a man who travels around the world in one night, delivering presents to every child, is a powerful one that can inspire awe and wonder in young minds.
Traditions: Santa Claus is a beloved tradition in many families and cultures. For many kids, the excitement of seeing Santa at the mall or writing a letter to him is something they look forward to every year.

In addition, getting a portrait with Santa can be a fun family activity. Kids love dressing up in their holiday best and meeting Santa, and parents can join in on the fun and get into the holiday spirit as well.
