Santa Claus

For the very first time in its whole history, all Wal-Mart stores will have visits from Santa.

If anyone shops at the local Wal-Mart stores would you please check this story out and report back?

In previous years Wal-Mart barred the Salvation Army from in front of their stores at Christmas time, so it is unusual that they would suddenly install a Santa Land in their stores.

As far back as anyone can remember, department stores had Santa Lands in their stores at Christmas time, but I can't help but wonder at this news about Wal-Mart. Could it be that because of all the negative news about Wal-Mart and their toys made in China, Wal-Mart is trying to improve their image and bottom line by breaking with past practice?
