- Dress in warm layers, hats and gloves, because most of the Holiday Hoopla takes place outdoors at Waterford Township Hall.
- Bring a phone or camera for the photo opportunity with Santa, which is one of the highlights of the afternoon.
- Stay until near the end of the afternoon so you don't miss the lighting of the township holiday tree.
- Leave time for the craft and cookie decorating tables, since kids can make something festive to take home on top of seeing Santa and the reindeer.
