6 Spots To Take Pet Photos With Santa
Your cats and dogs are members of the family, so they deserve a few holiday shots on Jolly Old St. Nick’s lap too.
Is it even the holidays if you don’t take the kids for photos with Santa Claus? And no, we’re not talking about the Big Santa perched atop Garden State Plaza near Nordstrom.
Sitting on Santa’s lap, sharing a wish list and snapping pics with him has been a longstanding holiday pastime and a rite of passage for children of all ages. Doing so these days has never been easier, as Jolly Old St. Nick makes daily appearances at Bergen County’s shopping malls. Even better news is that parents with four-legged friends and furry family members can get in on the holiday festivities.
Below are places where you can bring Fido, Mittens and all your good boys and girls for pet photos with Santa. Don’t worry, Santa already knows what’s on their wish lists!
