Santa, Mrs. Claus and their Reindeer

A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
- Clement C. Moore, The Night Before Christmas

Santa and one of Gertens many visitorsYou know a fake Santa when you see one, and so does your child. At Gertens, we understand how magical and wonderful and terrifying coming face to face with Santa can be and we strive for children of all ages to walk away from Santa with a smile on their face and visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads.

Become enchanted with the spirit of Christmas while shopping at Gertens this holiday season.

A long standing Christmas tradition at Gertens is to host special appearances by the one and only Santa Claus. This year Santa is bringing two of his reindeer to give you rides among the fresh Christmas trees. The last time we talked to Santa he had some very exciting news for us. After many years of being apart at this time of year, Mrs. Claus has decided to travel with Santa and help him bring joy to all. Mrs. Claus has offered to read her favorite Christmas stories to children of all ages. Please stop to see her and wish her a Merry Christmas on your way to see Santa.

His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
-Clement C. Moore

Santa brings two of his reindeer to Gertens
According to Gabby, an 8 year old life-time Gertens’ customer, "Gertens has the real Santa; all the rest are just his helpers." And Gabby's mom Kristina wants you to know that, "Once you come to Gertens to visit Santa you'll never fight the crowds at the mall again." One of Santa’s elves is always on hand to take a picture for you, but remember she is not a professional photographer, so you are welcome to bring your own camera to take your Christmas card photo.
