Thanksgiving is over, and you know what that means.  The Christmas season has officially begun!  It’s time to pick out the perfect Christmas tree, decorate the house (and RV!) with all the red and green (or silver and gold) you can stand, and—our personal favorite—go get that annual photo with Santa!  At Howdy Ranch RV, we understand that family memories are important.  That’s why we’re in the RV business—to help get families on the road and adventuring together.  This time of year is perfect for creating memories and traditions, so we want to help you do that by offering a free family photo with Santa!  You can find details for our “Free Photos with Santa” event at the end of this post, but before you check that out, keep reading for all the reasons we think you and your family should have your photo taken with Santa this year.

Christmas Cards

A family photo with Santa is perfect for those Christmas cards your friends and family are expecting.  For our “Free Photos with Santa” event, we will email you a high-resolution digital copy of your photo, so you can use it for as many Christmas cards as you like! 

A Chance to Get Dressed Up

Your kids might not love getting dressed up, but this is the perfect opportunity to capture a photo of them in those cute Christmas outfits they may or may not destroy before the new year.

The Experience

Who doesn’t remember going to see Santa every year as a child?  Wonder and excitement couldn’t be contained as you stood in line with your parents, waiting to meet the big man in red.  When it was finally your turn, you’d nervously approach him as he sat on his ornate throne—rosy cheeks and fluffy white beard—and you’d shake his gloved hand.  He’d ask you what you wanted for Christmas and you’d tell him what you’d spent months begging your parents for.  Then someone would tell you to look at the camera and smile.  That photo would go up on the fridge at home for everyone to admire. 

Memories

Of course, you want those photos with Santa to look back on for years to come—to remember the days when your kids were little and loved to go visit Santa.  But a photo with Santa isn’t just about the photo; it’s an experience they’ll always remember.    

Bonus: Share it on Social Media!

Brighten up the Facebook and Instagram feeds with your festive photos with Santa!  At our “Free Photos with Santa,” you can feel free to take a Santa selfie and share it with your friends on social media.  Just be sure to tag us!
