We are only at Halloween right now, and there are so many stores and companies that have started to put up a bunch of Christmas decorations in their establishments.  I also see a lot of people putting up holiday lights on their homes.  This makes sense, though, as who wants to do that when it's freezing outside, and also possibly slippery.  That's dangerous and uncomfortable.

But there might be something to look forward to.  Lots of people love coming to places to get their pictures taken with Santa. For some people, it's a holiday tradition.  Several businesses offer pictures with Santa, but Crossroads Mall is taking it a step further.  This year there are going to be a couple of Santa's live reindeer to accompany him.  But those reindeer need to rest up for their big trip.  They will only be around for one day.

The Reindeer event will happen on Saturday, November 16th from 11am to 1pm.

You can also book your appointment with Santa now and make sure you reserve your spot so that you can work around your schedule.  Bookings are starting on November 21st, and you can pick the specific hour/time slot that you'd like.  You can just take your chances and go on the day that works for you, but there's no guarantee you'll get a picture unless you book online.

Here are some perks for booking online:

I know it's early, but nothing wrong with planning ahead.
