“We are proud to support small business owners like Denim House, La Parfums, and Mix & Merge not only during the holiday season, but all year long,” the mall said on its website.

Hook up with Santa at his workshop. Santa will be hearing kids’ wishes and taking pictures through Dec. 24, but reservations are strongly encouraged. You can meet Santa by making a reservation here. Pet photos with Santa are Mondays through Dec. 18.

And, of course, now would be a good time to review the mall’s youth supervision policy.
