Our Story
Bring Kirby Home
Kirby Has Arrived!
When Kirby arrives this will be the only time he comes in his storage box. Other years, he will just appear because of his Christmas magic. Welcome Kirby to your home and remind the kids not to touch him or his Christmas magic will run off, limiting his ability to return to the North Pole at night.Place him up high and magical things will happen.
Help Kirby Create Christmas Magic
Move Kirby each morning before the kids get up and have a letter from Santa or Mrs. Claus in his backpack. Only parents remove the letter, careful not to touch Kirby. Excitement will grow as they hear from Santa and look for Kirby in the morning. Remind kids Kirby is watching them and hoping they will be kind and sweet so Kirby can give Santa a good report. Stress special acts of kindness go a long way with Santa. Maybe leave small remnants of Kirby coming and being in your home. MAKE IT SIMPLE!
Letters From Santa
Letters can be typed small or hand written. In letters, answer questions children send or ask them questions about their lives. Join the Kirby's Clubhouse and receive customizable letters from Santa. Personal detail is important! Have fun with the letters!
Kirby's Final Night & Throughout the Year
Kirby's final night should be one of excitement for Christmas Day. Kirby can leave a letter for each child telling them what makes Santa so proud of them. Kirby can leave memorabilia that the kids can look at through the year, helping them to keep the true meaning of Christmas each day. Kids can have a Kirby send off party and tell what their favorite memory of Kirby has been that year. Celebrate with hot coco and tiny marshmallows.
