Cute holiday decorations at our shopping centre
Santa's Village at our mall. They've moved the display to the upper level for the first time ever, and have a new display downstairs (last pic). Keep in mind it's a small city with only one indoor mall. LOL. So it's not big-city slick and professional.
The fellow who plays Santa is great. I believe it's the same man who has done it for years, and he looks the part, complete with real beard. It's been very busy in there, the times I've been in! Most of the kids are good, but some poor little ones have complete meltdowns. It would take endless patience to deal with them all, IMO.🎅
The last pic is where Santa's Village used to be. Moving the village upstairs gives everyone more room, doesn't block traffic flow anymore.
I know it's kind of silly/cheesy, but every time I see that village (and Santa!) it puts a smile on my face.

There is no mall in the small town where D & Eli live, but Santa did come to the skating rink. D was able to get a photo of the two. Eli told her, he knows it isn't the real Santa because he's too busy, but that's okay because this Santa is his helper. He's only 6 1/2 and he has it figured out.
I love the displays in the mall, but I'd never have the patience to deal with the small children.
