Building Our Santa Experience - Every Story Begins with a Blank Page

This Week Behind the Scenes...

While much of my week was spent working on the first draft of this year's Storybook Album, several other parts of our Santa Experience quietly moved forward too.

✔ Began working on the keepsakes Santa gives each child
✔ Updated Daniel's Magical Santa Sessions landing page on his website while also writing this journal entry.
✔ Created individual folders for every family already registered for this year's experience

And then, somewhere in the middle of everything we had already started, I had a brainstorm:

What if we moved my office downstairs?

Of course, my new office location was already a bedroom—which meant the bedroom had to move upstairs before the office could move downstairs. What sounded like one simple idea quickly became a complete room swap and took up nearly half the week.

But it will make our Santa Sessions flow so much better. This year, families will have two designated dressing rooms where they can change, use pieces from our wardrobe, and leave their coats and belongings while they enjoy their private time with Santa.

So, in between writing a Christmas story, painting wooden toys, collecting Marketplace treasures, and preparing for our registered families, we somehow managed to relocate an entire bedroom and office too.

Just another perfectly ordinary week of building Santa's world.
