Little kids sitting on Santa's lap at the mall is as much a part of the holiday season as egg nog and ugly sweaters, but it's an experience one autistic girl never got to enjoy.
Need a memorable impression to keep the idea of Santa alive in your house? There's a direct line to the jolly man in the big, red suit that can do just that.
Santa Claus is officially back at the Kirkwood Mall and general manager, Paul Schable, is just one of the many excited about his arrival this holiday season.
In the U.K., Santa got his beard stuck while rappelling down from the ceiling of a mall and dangled there helplessly for half an hour until someone freed him. Old Saint Nick may be hundreds of years old, but he really needs to work on making an entrance.
