I've finally reached that age and girth when I've been asked to play Santa Claus for our local early childhood centre. How do I be the best Santa possible? My daughter's ECE needs a Santa for the Christmas party. I will be that Santa. The children there range from 6 months to 5 years old, more sitting in the 2-4 year bracket; perhaps forty in total. Their parents will be present, and I will have presents to hand out. What can I do to make this the best possible experience for them (and me)?
