Good old Saint

Nick will be the highlight of the morning's events. In the past, the mall

has charged for the breakfast, but through the hotels' efforts, families

can enjoy the breakfast at no cost.

"Our children

have dealt with a lot of negativity over the last few months, and what

better way to make them smile again than to let them spend time with Santa,"

said Ann Foster, area director of sales and marketing for the Rossmore

Management Group.

"We are

a part of the community, and we feel it's important for us to support

parents by offering a free holiday activity they can enjoy as an entire

family."

Parents agree,

and have responded enthusiastically by picking up tickets as early as

the first week of November. In fact, the hotel has given all tickets away

to area families so they expect a large crowd. For information phone the

Shannon Mall customer service center at 770-964-2200.
