Blivande jultomtar finslipar sina färdigheter inför julen | NTD NYHETER

School is in session for these six Santas in London from perfecting their ho-ho-hos To memorizing all the reindeer names Santa school aims to get Santas all trained up for Christmas Eve The program is run by James Lovell, Chief Santa Trainer for over 25 years and Creative Director at entertainment company Fiji Mermaid Any child that goes, there's a massive build-up, any child that goes to see Father Christmas has been excited about this for days, for weeks, maybe months so it has to live up to their expectations which is why from the moment a child walks into a grotto to meet Father Christmas the experience is magical So you need to look good, you need to sound good, you need to be kind you need to be magical, you need to be jolly There are certain rules that Santas must follow One of them is never asking the child what they want for Christmas You shouldn't actually ask them what they want for Christmas because most children have written you a letter and if you're asking them what they want for Christmas you're basically saying you haven't read their letter, which is rude Lovell said his bookings were up 25% this year He suspects one of the reasons for this is that people just need to feel more jolly This year there are a lot of not very nice things going on in the world and I think people are looking for Father Christmas to bring them a little bit of joy It's hard work for these Santas and their elves When they graduate, they'll be all set to ring in the season Merry Christmas!
