I did Santa at a couple different pre-schools, and at a friend's boutique. All went well. Here are a couple comments I got from parents at the Clayton Valley Parent Preschool.
Hello Lin,
Thank you so much for coming to ---- and doing such a wonderful job as Santa Claus!! My son, Trent, really enjoyed you and the pictures are great. In fact I think the close ups of you two look even better.
Warmest wishes and happy holidays!!

Thank you, you are the best Santa we have ever met, so patient, kind and gentle with the kids, what a true Santa experience should be (But is so not in our world today) thanks for sharing your time and a magical experience with our kids!
Merry Christmas,
Brienne;)

There are lots more pics, but this is a good sample. The first pic is my success story of the season. At first he wouldn't come near me. I've no idea why, but after watching me with some other kids, he did manage to condescend to sit on my lap. And, as they say, the rest is history.
