Mall Santa


It's not even the middle of November, but Santa is busy visiting shopping malls all over the world. This allows him to get an idea of the gifts the elves must put together by Christmas Eve, and also provides an opportunity for kids to tell Santa their hearts desire and get their pictures "taken with Santa." Santa watched me take this photo, and smiled big-time. Good Santa!

No, no, it's too soon! I always want to leave town at Christmas, just go somewhere without any stores.

Santa should be more sensible and stay home until December, silly Santa. Far too early.

Santa is sure in a hurry this year!

You beat me to it. I was at the mall this weekend and thought about doing an "are your ready" post when I saw all the Christmas decorations up.

I thought Santa didn't show up until Thanksgiving, but what do I know?

William Kendall said...

The malls are busy decorating, some even before Remembrance Day- something I have a problem with them doing- but no Santa as of yet.

Yikes! At least one month too early.

Marleen said...

We see Christmas decorations here too, though not as 'serious' as on your photo.

Our Santa Claus Parade is next Sunday and then Santa starts to appear in the stores here. It feels too early to me.

Santa shows up here Dec 3rd on a fire truck. He'll be right down the street where the town gathers for such big events. Christmas music will be playing from the two big speakers that are set up and secured for the festive season.

Oh, Lord! Please say it ain't so.
