How would you tell the kids you were going to Santa’s Lapland?
This Christmas we booked in a trip to Santa’s Lapland in February! We decided before we agreed it all that we weren’t going to tell them in February, as that’s a long time to wait when you’re 39 never mind when you’re 6 and 7, so we decided to wait until December.
Closer to the time we started to wonder how we should do it. It’s all part of the magic right! We talked about just waking them up and telling them we were going, but as we will have to leave the house at 3am that didn’t seem kind really. I also felt like they might lose a little of the magic if they were overwhelmed with tiredness!
So we decided to let the elves reveal a story over the first couple of weeks of Christmas, ending with a letter and some very special boarding passes!
You can take a look at our ‘Big Reveal’ in the video below and if you would like to use our printable Lapland Boarding Pass for your own very special visit to Santa’s Lapland then you can download those below! Simply click on the picture of the Elf Airlines – Special Boarding Pass!
