One Year on the Road

Private lunch with Santa.

The Mall of Millennia

Palm tree sentinels.

And a giant Christmas tree inside.

The decorations are wild.

Christmas everywhere.

Waiting for Santa.

Second level view of the Santa arena.

You must have a timed ticket to stand in line.

First shift Santa.

Revealing the wish list.

And wishing hard.

We met with Santa in the greenroom.

Who wouldn&#039;t love this Santa?

Our backroom visit was a secret.

Santa&#039;s entrance is oddly next to Victoria&#039;s Secret.

Santa pauses before taking his seat.

Preparing himself for 6.5 hours of posing.

The kids all love him.

A secret wish.

Silly faces.

Santa gets a hug.

A moment&#039;s break.

And starting again.

Sorry, kids, the present&#039;s just a prop.

View from above.

A tiny one.

Santa sneaks a look at me.

Time to leave.

One last look at the tree as we exit.

Palm trees in a Christmas ball.

Back into hot Florida weather.
