Participating LifeStorage facilities in Chicago has turned their lobbies into a busy hive of holiday activities. From Share a Cookie Day to celebrating National Cocoa Day to providing an opportunity for children to have their picture taken with Santa LifeStorage has gotten into the holiday spirit.
They are hosting Santa's Workshops that run through December 23. Each workshop provides free gift wrapping. Participants can also enjoy hot cider and cookies while wrapping their gifts. LifeStorage is offering discounts on units where people can hide Christmas gifts away from children.
They are offering Pictures with Santa where children can have their picture taken with Santa and receive a free print of their picture. LifeStorage will provide coloring books and crayons for the children as they wait their turn to have their picture taken.
"LifeStorage is really making an effort to make the holiday season fun this year, not just for adults, but for kids as well," said Michelle Wight, LifeStorage District Manager. "The Pictures With Santa Event is a great way to avoid the craziness of holiday shopping, while still getting to visit with Santa. Our Santa's Workshops give you a place to wrap presents without your kids walking in, and with the deal we have on our storage units, you have the perfect place to hide the gifts so that the presents are still a surprise come Christmas morning."
December for LifeStorage continues its busy charitable schedule and holiday deals. Wight adds that these are just a few of the many events LifeStorage is holding. "We're balancing great storage solutions, holiday fun, and giving back to the community, and I couldn't be more proud of our staffs. The Santa's Workshops and Pictures with Santa Event reflect our fun side, and our myriad charity drives are really making a difference in the communities where we are based. I encourage everyone to stop by your local LifeStorage and see how you can help out, and have some free cider and cookies, on us," Wight said.
LifeStorage has other holiday activities on the calendar. This week they are hosting a Mitten Tree event where they will accept new and gently used mittens, scarves, coats, and winter wear. Donations will be given to local charities. On December 13 they will participate in the National Cocoa Day. People are invited to drop by for a steaming cup of cocoa.
