One great family Christmas tradition?  Pictures with Santa.

If you don’t want to brave a crowded mall and you’re in the Southern California area, Orange Public Library has an early Christmas gift for you.

Santa’s going to be on hand for free photo opportunities, at three different Orange County public libraries, in the month of December.  But he’ll only be in each location for ninety minutes.  (Those reindeer do get impatient!)  So, you may want to plan on arriving early–which will give you a chance to check out some Christmas stories, anyway.

The jolly old elf’s itinerary is as follows:

Orange Public Library & History Center:

Tuesday, December 1                                                                     6:00 – 7:30 p.m.

El Modena Branch Library:

Saturday, December 5                                                                    3:00 – 4:30 p.m.

Taft Branch Library

Tuesday , December 8                                                                    5:00 – 6:30 p.m.

Parents are invited to bring their small Christmas elves and their cameras, to get a free picture with Santa.  (And you don’t even have to bring milk and cookies.)
