Leaving cookies and milk for Santa is a family tradition.  This year create a new tradition and enjoy milk and cookies with Santa in person!  Instead of driving to the mall and waiting in line to see Santa, invite Santa (and Mrs. Claus if you wish) to come to you.  You will find that your children will enjoy telling him their Christmas wishes and spending time with him in the relaxed environment of your home.  The adults will have many opportunities to take photographs, including photos with Santa and your four-legged friends if you wish.
