Santa Claus at Lee’s Studio Productions A Christmas Visit

I talk with Santa Claus at Lee Studio Productions. He runs a once a year workshop visit where kids come in, play with toys, make cookies, drink chocolate milk, draw and color, and hand him their Christmas list, then leave with an 8x10 photo. I ask how he pulls it off in a short window, and he points to his helpers and the elves who spend two days setting the whole space. We talk about the building, which also houses Lee Studio of Dance, with trophies on the walls and a lot of vintage toys and items from a personal collection. I ask the key questions for families, and he shares that he likes sugar cookies with vanilla and green icing, wants ice cold milk, and carrots make a good treat for reindeer. He jokes about staying on an empty beach when he vacations. We also plug farm events like Fear on the Farm, a Bloody Mary workshop, and a Krampus night. He closes by reminding kids that Christmas magic still exists and encourages parents to read ’Twas the Night Before Christmas on December 24.
