No! One of the most special parts of Santa Stops Twice™ is that it is completely customizable to your family and designed to be stress free not adding more to the parents plate during holiday season.

Parents get to decide how simple or elaborate they want their celebration to be!

At minimum (and suggested by creator), many families choose to:

• Leave one special gift from the child’s wish list On December 25, Christmas Day from Santa

• Leave a stocking filled on Christmas Day wherever they are from Santa (bring and remind children you are bringing stocking with you if traveling)

• Give one gift early from parents on Christmas Day

Then, Santa returns on the family’s chosen Family Christmas Day™ to celebrate the BIG day together as a family and for the rest of the gifts and magic.

Parents may choose to give a gift or two gifts early from themselves on Christmas Day or they can wait for Family Christmas Day. Recommended gifts are games or items that can be used for most of the day.

There are no strict rules... the tradition is designed to work for your unique family situation and schedule!

That’s perfectly okay! Your family can choose any day before or after December 25 when everyone can be together. Santa understands that every family’s schedule is different and knows exactly when to make his special second stop.

Yes! Families who need faster delivery can purchase the book-only option through Amazon. The complete Santa Stops Twice™ tradition, including the premium book and coordinating digital download Christmas materials, are available exclusively through our website.
