It may be a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving but Santa Claus has already arrived at the Alderwood Mall.

Families may bring their little ones to share their holiday list and get their annual photos with Santa. Mr. Claus is located at Macy’s Center Court.

Hours are as follows:

through Dec. 12

• Monday-Saturday: 10 a.m.- 8 p.m.
• Sunday: noon-6 p.m.

Dec. 14-23

• Daily: 9 a.m.-9 p.m.
• Christmas Eve: 8 a.m.-6 p.m.

A new event this year is the Pajama Party

On Tuesdays (Nov, 19, 26 and Dec.3, 10, 17 at 6 p.m.) children can start a new tradition and visit Santa in their pajamas. Parents are encouraged to bring their child’s favorite stuffed animal, blanket or book.

Bring a new unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Tots and create a memorable moment for a deserving child in the community too. And with a $3 donation for Toys for Tots, you can receive a customized email letter from Santa on Christmas Eve.
