Paying to Meet Santa? Black Friday Shopper Sets Up Camp: Patch Holiday Roundup

Would you pay to meet Santa? A mall in New Jersey thinks a visit with St. Nick is worth $35 at least, angering parents and local residents before finally backing off.

Adding to the theme, Starbucks’ minimalist holiday cup design is drawing criticism with some calling it “political correctness gone too far.”

So is there any holiday cheer this season? Perhaps for the pardoned turkey that gets to meet POTUS.
