I have twin daughters. When they were little we would visit the ultimate Santa at the Rushmore Mall. Did you ever see this Santa? He didn’t wear the traditional red suit, instead he wore pine green pants with suspenders and a holiday shirt. He had a real beard and was a short, round little guy. He seemed more like one of the elves than Santa himself. You could tell he took his job seriously. Even though the twins were infants, he took both of them at once and held them  in the crook of each arm as they snoozed. We have a great picture of this Santa, holding both of the twins pretending to have fallen asleep himself while reading The Night Before Christmas.

We went back every year while my kids were little and had a picture taken with this Santa.

I would love to hear some of your Santa  memories — did your kids scream and cry? Or were they happy to sit by the jolly guy and tell their fondest Christmas wish?

From us here at BlackHillsFun.com to you, we bring you this “Santa Map” with an outline of where you can find Santa in the Black Hills this holiday season. If you know of any place Santa is going to be that we have missed, please leave us a comment and we’ll add it to the map.

Enjoy!
