Do you like store and mall Santa Clauses?

I do. I know they are just someone dressed in a suit, but I still like seeing them.

I haven't seen any in a while. Probably due to covid, "stranger danger", and malls dying out.

I don't really pay attention or care. I wasn't majorly into that as a kid either.

I only have 1 mall nearby and they stopped after Covid and haven't restarted it.

It has been a loooooooong time since I've seen one. I know they're there. I don't go to the mall around Christmas time.
I like Mall Santas. But it is amazing what happens when they get too close.
But I like Mall Santas.

Mall Santas are the traditional Part of US Christmas Days ... But since my eye contact thing , I cannot just look at them
with out appearing to be staring .. If I let my brain ,let go of everything that exists in my life, and just in ,my own mind , try to remember how. The wonder I felt as a child, when I saw my first real life Santa in the mall . Then suddenly, eith that little brain back then ? What if every else kthing might be real too..Would he know if from back then .? I used up all the toilet paper in the family toilet..( loo) Without ?? replacing it ? And would know and just throw me off his lap , and say my bad thing out loud? About me. Funny how a little mind deals with non reality?, gaslit to them by their parents ?
but with the best of intentions , to maintain traditions. And much they went through to do those traditions (But those times of young concepts of Santa) , were warm ones back then. YEAH...I guess I like the idea of mall Santas.

I never encountered one ever in my life. As I've gotten older I don't think I've missed out because I don't like long lines. I would probably stand in line for hours to meet Linabell though...

I did see a Santa outside the high school across the street today. I think it was a student dressed like Santa because they were wearing a backpack instead of carrying a big bag slung over their shoulder. Maybe they were having a party or a play or something.

Christmas has no meaning to me anymore.

I haven't seen a mall Santa since I was a child. I remember visiting one when I was 4, with my brother and sister. I was a bit afraid of his beard but didn't react. I stood up straight and tried to look like a very well-behaved child so that he'd be impressed with me. He then asked us all if we had been good girls (even though my brother was a boy), and we nodded our heads eagerly. Then he pulled out a present each.

I love mall Santas. I asked my mall Santa for peace on earth this year.

When I was a small child we went to the mall to get pictures taken with Santa, there was a lot of children there and to cope with the demand they had to have two different Santa's at opposite sides of the complex. I saw the other Santa. he was a tall skinny man of African appearance. And a questioned why there was two Santa's. At the time I was very firm in belief that the man I took pictures with was infact the real Santa clause. And my father had to explain to me that both the Santa's were just random guys in costume.

I pointed at the African Santa and said "you're not the real Santa"

Needless to say my extremely embarrassed parents had to rush us out of the mall.

I've not seen anyone standing in for Santa for many years

I don't really have any feelings either way for it
