Nothing
is more magical than seeing a child’s eyes light up as he comes into the living
room on Christmas morning. The tree is surrounded by gifts from the
ever-elusive Santa Claus. In an effort to keep the mystery and charm
of Santa alive in the hearts and minds of their children, many impassioned
parents have spent Christmas Eve forging the signature of Santa Claus on their
children’s gifts. Because the Santa “belief window” is only a few
short years (6-8 years), many parents go to great lengths to ensure their
children enjoy every minute. They convince the uncle to dress up in
a red suit on Christmas Eve; they track Santa’s sleigh on the internet;
they hide the “Santa wrapping paper” in the closet so that the children never
suspect it was actually purchased from Target; AND they write Santa’s
signature on gift tags while trying their best to disguise the handwriting so
their children never grow suspicious.
It is
from this tradition (and sometimes hilarity) that a great idea was born! Suzette,
mother of two children, was out shopping for gift tags one Christmas. Specifically,
she was looking for gift tags with Santa’s signature so that she didn’t have to
once again forge his signature on this year’s Christmas presents. After
trying numerous stores, it was clear that these gift tags did not exist. So,
Suzette had an idea – what if there was a line of Christmas gift wrap products
that included the official signature of Santa Claus?
