LJ Idol Presents:

I love kids but that would be Hell on Earth. I hate that mall Santa situation so much that, for the last 11 years, we go to the super richy-rich mall an hour from my house to see Santa because there you can make a reservation - in SEPTEMBER - for your 15 minutes with the man in the red suit at Christmastime.

When you arrive, there might be two families in front of you, but you get in and out, Santa is just lovely and so gracious with the kids and after, we go to this fun Italian restaurant where you get to eat in the kitchen and watch them make your meal! It's a tradition.
