Hudson Switzer, 20 months, of Springdale smiles Monday as Santa Claus prepares for a day of having his photograph made with children at the Northwest Arkansas Mall in Fayetteville. Though he was scared of Santa on an earlier trip, Hudson’s mother has been taking him to see Santa in the mall to prepare him for another visit. Santa will be at Center Court in the mall from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday with a break from 3 to 4 p.m. and from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday with a break from 3 to 3:30 p.m. Prints are ready to be purchased and picked up immediately onsite and parents are encouraged to take advantage of smaller lines during the week.
