We’ve been to see this Santa for 10 years now. The longest wait is about 10 minutes, but usually we can walk right up to him. He resides at a small mall around the corner, at least between 10-7pm, probably 7 days a week during December. We love seeing this Santa, although admittedly he’s been shrinking over the years, doctor’s orders he says to get healthy. He’s a lovely Santa who does a great job, and for two or three years standing behind the chair to hide from Quinn because she was having none of the white bearded man’s lap.
I present crazy tradition (Where Gage and Quinn say they know the Santas are fake) photo 2009, for which Quinn excitedly said, “I look like a teenager!”

And 2002

Merry Christmas if you celebrate it!

Quinn’s right; she looks so much healthier and bigger and yes, older now. I can’t believe how sick she looked so recently.
Merry Christmas!
What a cute Santa! That’s very clever to hide behind the chair. Thanks for taking the time to update.
Now, I’m off the enjoy a tradition, too….lutefisk, boiled potatoes and white sauce.
