We enjoy this "newly added" Christmas Walk each year. I would just like to say Mason Square has the BEST Santa & Mrs. Claus we've come across throughout all the walks/santa pictures/etc. Santa seems more real to the kids, than others with the big ol fake white beard. Please relay this to those in charge of Mason Square Walk, never change Santa & Mrs Claus! They are a one of a kind pair & we enjoy seeing each year.

Nicole, I've heard others say that, too. They must be quite the pair!
