Recently, in the news, you might have heard that a visit with Santa now costs money!
Gasp!
What is the world coming to now????
Calm right on down, now.
Untwist your under-drawers.
This is not your average, Pervy Mall Santa visit.
There are still multiple offerings around town for a free visit.
This, as the name implies, is the
& for the bargain price of $35, believe me when I say
IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT!
What? $35 to see Santa? NO!
We first noticed, what we have dubbed as the Shrek house
last month when we made our regular pilgrimage to the LEGO store, at the Mall.
Really, a 2 story, LED screened house, being decorated by Shrek & Friends, in the middle of the mall will cause even the biggest scrooge to take a 2nd look.
It's really impressive.
Another difference, it's important to book your boarding pass to the North Pole, on-line.
For this to work right, like any flight, plan ahead & arrive at your assigned time.
As part of the booking process, you up-load pictures of your children & their Christmas lists.
What? I know. Not to worry, nothing malicious.
When you go into Santa's parlor, he will attempt to greet each child by name & know exactly what they want.
Crazy pants- he did, & seriously the tiny jaws on the floor were worth the $$.
Included in this were a sled flight simulator (everyone receives a souvenir Pilot's License),
A ride on a real flying sled (take a bucket if you are prone to motion sickness!),
an adventure in 2D computerized gingerbread cookie decorating (order a 3D model on-line, later!),
Plus, the visit with the Man himself,
& the pictures are even included in the package price (5x7, 2 4x6, 4 3.5x5)!
I don't about you, but if you are a regular Santa Picture Purchaser, you know,
that you will spend about that much just on pictures.
Seriously, spend the money, if you can, it's worth it!
My 2, & only gripes-
that sled is really realistic! I was already green from a spin on the merry-go-round in the
Tea Cups, with a child who hence forth will be referred to as Satan, which is a story for another day.
I seriously almost lost my Christmas Cookies, folks.
It is really, really well done.
& no, they don't have air-sickness bags in the seat backs,
though after I left, they seriously considered adding some.
, a small one- they had a barn area decorated with what I am guessing was supposed to be the reindeer barn/tack room. They made the unfortunate mistake of using Draft Horse sized halters, bridles, etc..... Maybe those fancy people out in Californy can't tell the difference, but here in the mid-west, you should be ashamed if you can't.
& Now, what I know you all have been waiting for.....
Drum-roll, please.....
Your token, Friendly, Neighborhood Jews, meet Santa--->
As you can see, the children are a natural with Santa, & look well practiced....,.....
Happy Winter Holiday!
