The Christmas carol goes:

"You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town."

Why not take a preemptive strike!?

Why not visit Santa on his home turf, put your best foot forward, and let him be so impressed with that first impression that he feels no need to double-check that naughty and nice list?

You can do just that when Santa's workshop opens up for a few hours, thanks to the amazing folks at the Salvation Army!
