Thank you Kent Station Santa

We will never return to the mall Santa after the BEST experience this year at Kent Station. I have friends who have gone to Kent Station in years past and told me it was great, but I just finally got around to going there this year. There was no line on a Monday, and we got to go into a cozy little house with Santa and Mrs. Claus. They were the FRIENDLIEST people I have ever seen at a Santa photo shop, and we spent 15-20 minutes with them. Each girl sat individually with Santa, and I think the addition of Mrs. Claus makes everything so much less frightening for little kids! They each got a candy cane for themselves and a candy cane to share with someone else or put on your tree - you can see Addison showing off her double candy canes. She kept saying, "Like it! Like it!" over and over while she got to experience her first candy cane. And at the end, he gives you the "Naughty or nice" test, where he touches your nose and squeaks a toy, meaning you were nice. What a nice Christmas memory compared to last year when the 16 year old working at the mall didn't know how to sit 3 kids with Santa, so they squished them all on Santa's lap while Santa said gruffly, "Hurry up, she's heavy!", after waiting an hour in line. Lesson learned!
