Ok, a friend of mine (Chris O'Connor) was going on and on about the fact that the "best, most beautifully costumed Santa" that has been at the Stonebriar Center (mall) for the past several years, with a LONG line, is now in Allen (with almost no line). She said that she has waited in line for ages because pictures with him and the kids are so great... and he was at Marion Elementary today with almost nobody in line! He'll be there again tomorrow (11/18/08) doing pictures for students from 10am-2pm and again for anyone/everyone from 3:30pm-7:30pm.
Don't quote me on this, but I heard the picture packages are very reasonable... something like $20 for a 5x7 and four wallets, $25 for double the pics, $35 includes another 5x7 and two 3x5s, and $40 gets you a CD with the images and the copyright... so you can legally print as many copies as you want, email them to family, etc. That's right, if you don't have the copyright (permission to make copies), it's illegal to make copies of professional pictures or scan them and email to friends/family. You're actually stealing from the photographer if you do... but I digress.
After tomorrow at Marion, he'll be at the Village at Allen on the 22nd! That's right, it's rumored that the Village at Allen is getting the super-fabulous "Stonebriar Santa". He's apparently going to be the Santa mentioned in the schedule my previous post here: http://www.realtown.com/ryancave/blog/firstholidayvaa
However, I bet the lines are going to get long in a hurry... so be sure to tell your friends that you got in to see him early because you got the scoop right here on your favorite blog (then be nice enough to send them a link so they can start reading stuff here too). If you didn't hear about this in time, let me know and I'll subscribe you to my blog so you always get notified of the latest posts.
Ho, ho, ho... have a merry start to the Santa season in mid-November.

Ha! I broke the story before the Dallas Morning News!
Seriously though, click here to read their GREAT story (by a real writer, not some Real Estate Agent pseudo-writer) about the "True Santa" and his departure from Stonebriar... and the ensuing buzz by his loyalists (or click the link below):
