One of the most memorable events of the Christmas season are those wonderful Santa pictures.  These photos can tell an entire story, from crying babies to terrified toddlers, and those older kids who look like they want to be somewhere else.

There are plenty of opportunities to get photos taken with Santa around the valley and he has already arrived at some places around town.  Check the links for schedules, dates, times and pricing (if applicable).  This list will be added to throughout the holiday season, so bookmark and check back regularly to see the many updates coming over the next few weeks.
