Savage Mill Christmas 2018

One of our favorite shopping spots is Savage Mill in Savage, Maryland. They had their big Christmas season kick-off right after Thanksgiving since they are loaded with small businesses (Saturday was Small Business Saturday). The decorations were amazing.

Santa was there and our youngest was happy (and shy) to visit with him.

Negotiating a gift list

He wasn't really sure what he wanted from Santa for Christmas, so it was the usual awkward conversation. He was happy to get his picture taken, though.

They made a deal

Candy canes were offered after talking to Santa. Our preschooler politely refused because they are "too minty." He's tried mint toothpaste and doesn't like it, so he didn't just make up the excuse.

We saw another Santa outside working on his Naughty/Nice list.

The Mill is having a "Twelve Days of Christmas" celebration, so if you are in the area and read this post before the kickoff on the 12th, come check them out!
