Bon Temps Santa

12/25/2024

Who’s been busy all year with a jolly old grin,
Making sure every child gets a gift tucked in?
Whose elves worked so hard, never taking a break,
To craft all the toys and the treats they make?

Who’s flying tonight with a sleigh full of cheer,
As reindeer dash onward, spreading joy far and near?
It’s Santa, of course, on his magical flight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! 🎄🎅🏼 🦌 🎁

“Just remember, the true spirit of Christmas lies in your heart.” — Santa, The Polar Express.

“Seeing isn’t believing; believing is seeing.” — Charlie, “The Santa Clause 2”

Thank you all for another great Holiday Season!! We can’t wait to see you all again next year!

Love,
Bon Temps Santa

🎅✨ A Magical Visit to Evangeline Elementary! ✨🤶

Last Friday morning, Bon Temps Santa and Mrs. Claus made a surprise visit to the students at Evangeline Elementary School in Acadia Parish! The joy and excitement were truly magical as Santa spent time with each child, listening to their Christmas wishes and going over their lists. Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus brought holiday cheer to the classrooms by reading a festive Christmas story to a few lucky classes. 📋📚

It was a heartwarming day filled with smiles, laughter, and the true spirit of the season. Thank you, Evangeline Elementary, for letting us share this special moment with your wonderful students. 🎄❤️

Thank you for having us! 🫶🏼🎅🏼🤶🏼

Love,
Bon Temps Santa
