    Default Santa Appointment

    I heard on the local news today that for a small fee at our mall you can make an appointment to see santa instead of waiting in line. I assume it means you can move to the front of the line. (sigh). They've found another way to make a buck. I guess if you've got an extra $10 or whatever you can be up front. I always thought part of the fun and excitement was the waiting and anticipation to see santa. I feel it's too bad the world is in such a hurry. Am I thinking wrong?

    That so sad. I remember how excited i was to stand in line waiting for Santa. My kids loved it also. My grandchildren will to.

    Well, most of them already charge to sit in his lap and get your picture taken. Are you sure it's not an appointment only deal?

    would be good for infants and children with disabilities and also for kids with autism etc that couldnt handle all the activity for a long time while waiting .

    also if the parent has an illness or disability .

    i am sure many will use it just to not have to wait but i can see a valid reason for offering it other than every day people just not wanting to wait .
