    Of course, Santa always comes down from the North Pole to get away from the cold and pay Sandi a visit. In keeping with the times, Santa and Mrs. Claus are tucked into a snow globe, where everyone can safely take pictures. Children and families can stand outside of the globe for photos and text their greetings and wishes to Santa.
