Santa Visits Knoxville


On Sunday, Santa took a break from his duties at the North Pole to visit the children at Knoxville's West Town Mall giving them an opportunity to tell him what they'd like for Christmas.

Ava took the star treatment prior to her visit - hot bath, hair blown dry, and a dab of makeup on a little pimple (?) on her cheek. She dressed in her holiday best and stood in line anxiously awaiting the chance to sit with Santa.

As we approached his chair, she looked at the ground and twirled a bow on her dress. But when he asked her name, she looked up and loudly proclaimed, "AVA!" I knew we'd get a smile from her for the photo.

Her picture was taken and Santa asked what she'd like. She told him, "A present!" and then told him that we had lots of presents under our tree and that the presents were for him....he smiled, gave Ava a gingerbread man cookie and we wished him a Merry Christmas.

We wish YOU a Merry Christmas as well!
