The Photo Finishers has been asked to bring Santa back to the Hot Springs Mall this year, according to owner Waco Hill.

The jolly old elf will be available for visits beginning Wednesday on select days and hours until Christmas Day. For a complete schedule, visit center court to pick up a holiday guide, or visit http://www.mallportraits.com or "Hot Springs Mall Portraits" on Facebook.

"The fountain area is festively decked with skating snowmen, wreaths, trimmed archways, Santa's workshop display and of course lots of snow and holiday lights. To complement the Santa set with the awesome 'Frosty the Snowman' chair, there is an area with fun mirrors, activity games and a desk and 'Mail Box' where all good boys and girls can make their list and drop it in the post so Santa is sure to receive them," the release said.

"I'm very excited and honored to have this huge responsibility," Hill said. "I can really relate to Santa, we both love to give gifts, and adore cookies. I love the idea of Santa, a character of pure kindness and thoughtfulness that spends all his waking hours trying to bless children and make the world a better place. A man who would literally travel around the world to make a child smile."

Hill said that's the spirit he hopes to bring with Santa to the mall for the next two months.

"I can't speak to what has been available before, but we are working really hard to make this year the best Santa experience in Hot Springs. Not only are we offering top-notch photography that is affordable for everyone, and special photo gifts for parents and family, but we will have thousands of giveaway items and free gifts for children who take a photo with Santa," he said.

The Photo Finishers is also working to partner with other local businesses to offer mom and dad discounts that are available only at the Santa booth in the mall.

Keepsake photo packages are available from around $16, the release said. Digital files, greeting cards, CDs, calendars, photo ornaments, holiday snow globes and Night Before Christmas Storybooks will also be offered.

"All packages and photo products are printed and delivered right at the booth in just a few minutes. Timeless Santa Claus portraits make the perfect memento and holiday gift, that will be treasured for a lifetime," the release said.
