How about "Hello there little one" - simple, but to the point

Take the *** out of your mouth, take your hat off, pretend you're not The Boss and say "Yo, ho, ho and a very merry Christmas to you. Do you have a special wish for Christmas? Have you been a good boy/girl today? Now, let's see what Santa has in his sack for you. Don't forget you have to go to sleep early on Christmas Eve otherwise I may not be able to visit. All children have to be asleep when I come otherwise the reindeer get nervous and it slows them down so much that we don't have time to drop in on everyone".
I envy you, you should have a great time. Good luck, merry Christmas and a happy New Year

" HO! HO! HO! And what's YOUR name!" usually works pretty well. Also if the little darling asks for something horrendously expensive, like a GIV executive jet, spare an eye for the parents. If theay are white, trembling, and shaking their heads madly, the correct answer is "Well, I'm not sure you've been good enough this year, but we'll see what we can do. I'll have to check my little book." If they are nodding sagely and smiling, the correct answer is "Certainly, and would you like it with radar, full avionics, ILS, ECM, chaff, flares, and Sidewinder and AMRAAM missiles and a 40mm. rotary cannon at only US$ 30,000,000 extra?"

Make sure you will look as real Santa clause, so children will be impressed, and when it doesn't really matter what you say. first impression is the most important thing.
In my country we ask children to say a little poem before they get gift.

Ho Ho Ho is traditional. You could follow that by asking them what they have brought YOU for christmas. Feign huge surprise at the idea that you're meant to bring presents for THEM. Say you haven't any presents on you, but if they whisper what they want in your ear, you'll be round with the reindeer on Christmas night.

If you think the kids are little horrors, why are you doing it? Anyways... I guess you could just wave and smile, kind of like Miss America or something.
