Growing up with four sisters probably drained my parents on a daily basis.
Emotionally, physically and even financially.
We didn’t get everything we asked for. We wore hand me downs and got a two pairs of shoes every school year - one for every day, and a pair for gym.
However, when it came to Christmas, mom and da made sure it was magical. From the Christmas Eve Polish feast to presents straight out of the pages of the Sears catalog, all the way through Christmas morning when Santa arrived overnight and brought us every Fisher Price and Barbie doll, car, home and outfit that was available.
t wasn’t just the gifts, though that made that time of year the very best, though. It was being with my whole family, aunts, uncles, Gram, and my cousins. The joking, laughing, playing games with our new haul, and generally just being together that mattered the most - then and now.
This year I am putting all those feels into a single Christmas event and sharing it with you, so that your family can create the memories that your kids will still love, even 50 years later.
Believe - A Santa Experience is November 8 at The Ranch in Frankfort.
We have a pre-visit Wonderland area for kids to craft, shop and have hot chocolate before meeting Santa.
We have a cozy stone fireplace, decked out for the holidays for family portraits. Then the kids are taken to meet Santa in the barn, which features a fully decorated country front porch, where their interaction with our authentic, jolly and real-bearded professional Santa, is documented for the sweetest portraits. We complete the visit with a visit with the Ranch “reindeer” gently donkeys donning antlers.
You get all the magic of the season and portraits that can be revisited and treasures every single year at Christmastime.
Make this year a new tradition and create unforgettable memories at Believe - A Santa Experience, November 8.
You can reserve your spot here.
We can’t wait to help your family celebrate the magic of Believe.
