Santa's here, y'all.
You and yours can take pictures with the bearded man himself at Town Center at Cobb in Kennesaw starting Friday.
Santa photo packages start at $24.99, but put down $10 early and reserve a spot.
Don't miss his arrival, which is celebrated by an event that runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
And you know he must have a magical sleigh because who could get through Friday traffic at that time.
If you'd rather catch him when he's in Marietta, do so at the downtown skating rink. Find out how here.
There'll be activities, prizes, magicians, balloon artists, face-painters before he arrives at the main food court entrance at 6 p.m. with a real reindeer "followed by a magical snowfall."
Santa will be ready for his close-up from then until 9 p.m. that night and then through the day before Christmas because he's got stuff to do. Duh.
The first 200 people who visit Santa that night will get a "special gift," the mall said.
