Get Your Picture Taken with Santa - Middlesex County, New Jersey

Photos with Santa Claus

Diane Zoller-Ciatto
There is nothing like looking back at those pictures of our kids and maybe even ourselves sitting on Santa's lap. When I was a child my mother had to take me from New Jersey over to New York City to see Santa and have my black and white picture taken and wait for it to arrive in the mail about a week or so later. Things are different now. We get pictures taken in a matter of minutes and have pictures, keychains and coffee mugs made while we wait with our little tyke's picture in living color.

I live in Middlesex County, which is in Central New Jersey and we have the opportunity of having two malls within ten minutes of our house, but a few miles and maybe half an hour further will put us either north or south with many more malls to choose from. A few of the choices are as follows:
