Wordless Wednesday - Fishing Santa!

Wordless Wednesday - Creative Santa!

Out for another day of Christmas shopping at one of the local malls we came across Santa enjoying himself with the little kiddies. 
As we investigated closer, we realized this Santa was being very creative. Before he listened to the children's wish list, he showed them how to fish and taught them how to 'catch and release' in a boat name the 'Happy Hull-i-Day'!  This isn't the best picture we only had our phone.

Santa is his boat.

 

This was the best Santa we have seen. He spent lots of time with each child, and made their visit with him something special and memorable. Made us wonder, what can we do for our clients that would be special and most importantly, memorable?

You bring back memories of when my sons were interested in sitting on santa's lap except when they got there!  They became frightened and wanted to get off before they got on.  Maybe fishing would have been a good distraction!

Very clever for Santa for ditching the reindeers for a boat.  Must be dreaming of warmer climates.

Wish I had been there, Al & Peggy, as I've given up hope of ever catching a fish in the creek that runs through my front yard!

And a bright & warm holiday greeting to Al & Peggy.  Guess this is the first time I heard Happy Hull-i-day.

Thanks for spreading the holiday cheer via your cell phone & AR post.

Pretty creative way to catch the kids attention (no pun intended).  As far as clients go...doing what we say we will do, when we say we'll do it, goes a long way to keeping the client/Realtor relationship harmonious.

This is so cute!  Thanks for sharing this.  I try to make each transaction with every client as painless and easy as possible. I always answer my phone and am quick to assist them with anything whether it's getting the locks changed or the power switched over to them.  I think that's the best gift I can give them.

I think this is adorable.  I wonder what prompted the boat?  "Santa" must be an avid fisherman.  LOL

The quality of the photo is secondary to the memory and thoughts that you received from being there. Here's hoping you can implement the message you received from observing Santa.

That seems to be the way it is with a lot of kids Barabara except with this Santa!

LOL! Yes he must be Cindy!

It's actually the greatest gift to ourselves isn't it Laura?

Ha, ha, that's funny Irene, well this Santa gotta a bite everytime! ;)

Your welcome Mary, it was too unique not to share with our friends!

Neither had we Chris and it was something, we couldn't believe how much time he spent with each child! 

You're funny Anita, yes we have to always remember that with our clients.

Erika we are sure your clients and the agents that work with you appreciate your efforts.

Very unique right Debbie? Talk about thinking outside the box!!

We will definitely be trying Craig! Definitely be trying.

I certainly don't remember ever hearing, "Happy Hull-I-Days" - But, I don't remember a lot of things:-)  I hope you two have a great Christmas!

Al & Peggy - It's awesome that Santa was not only able to spend some quality time with each child, but taught them how to fish.

Hi Al and Peggy - I must echo Chris' comment.  I bet it was Santa in an Orillia mall.  He must have thematic settings that fit into the local area.

All the best to you too Myrl. We thought it was a funny play on words.

And to 'catch and release' Michelle!! ;)

Ha, ha, busted Joni! 

We thought it was to Juli. One little guy was so cute, and he was right in there, watching Santa's every move.

Ha, ha, well we hope he does Marc, but no he wasn't in Orillia at the time......
