It’s the onset of the festive season and it’s our favorite time of the year as a family. The schools are closing for the holiday season, families are packing their bags to set out for their annual holidays, the markets are decorated in festive lights and decor and kid’s are looking forward to Santa and their rewards for being ‘good’ this Christmas.
I look forward to this festival, not only because of the festivities that it brings along but also because it comes with a beautiful message which was taught to us by St. Nicholas years ago , ie the spirit of giving, joy and sharing.
Like every year Hamleys, which btw my kid’s favourite destination, has organised a google hangout with Santa. What is that :)?
GOOGLE HANGOUT WITH SANTA ONLY AT HAMLEYS!
As a part of ‘Christmas with Hamleys’, kids will get a unique opportunity to interact with Santa Claus before he leaves for the North Pole this Christmas! Thanks to technology, Santa is now reachable to all kids via the Google hangout facilitated by Hamleys.
To participate all you need to do is take your little one to below listed Hamleys store between 5:00pm to 8:00pm on December 19th and get a chance to share your Christmas wish list with Santa personally!
Below is the list along with store names and addresses of the Hamley Stores that are having this hangout.
