There are plenty of places in South Jersey where children can meet Santa Claus without their parents digging into their wallets. The Cherry Hill Mall just doesn't happen to be one of them.

The ninth-largest mall in the state charges from $35 to $50 for kids to partake in its Adventure to Santa holiday display, according to a report on Philly.com.

It doesn’t seem to be a good business practice to cause people to want to either avoid your mall altogether or interfere with the businesses within the mall from being able to sell their wares because the mall took all the money first.

“The mall’s management company points out that more “traditional Santa visits” (where Santa’s lap is available to sit on free of charge) can be had at one of its other properties, the Moorestown Mall.

The fancy set-up in Cherry Hill, said to be one of just a dozen in the country, features a 15-to-20 minute stay at the “North Pole” set up in the mall atrium.

Children take simulated sleigh ride, listen to a holiday concert performed by elves and design a gingerbread house on an iPad.”

Laraine Newman: I’m next!

Dan Aykroyd: [ laughing ] Are you sure you want to do this?

Laraine Newman: Sure! You know, I mean it’s crazy, this time of year does something to me, I feel like a little kid!

Dan Aykroyd: Make it quick, though - we’ve got a lot of shopping to do.

Laraine Newman: Oh, don’t be such a Scrooge. Where’s your spirit?

[ little girl steps off Santa’s lap and heads off ]

Mall Santa: Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas, everybody!

Laraine Newman: I’ll only be a minute.

Dan Aykroyd: Sure.

[ as Laraine steps up to Santa Claus, she unrolls some toilet paper which she proceeds to place around his lap ]

Dan Aykroyd: Hey, wait a minute! What are you doing?

Laraine Newman: Relax! I said I’ll only be a minute..

Dan Aykroyd: What is this?

Laraine Newman: It’s for protection.

Dan Aykroyd: Toilet tissue?! You mean, you haven’t heard of Santi-Wrap? [ holds up red and green colored toilet seat protection sheet ] Sure.. Santi-Wrap - the colorful, decorative and hygienic way to protect yourself from germs carried by the likes of a part-time Santa Claus.

Mall Santa: [ drinking from a bottle of alcohol ] Ho ho ho..

Dan Aykroyd: Look, he’s so jolly, he’s smart, he knows if you’ve been sleeping - but do you know where he’s been sleeping?

Laraine Newman: [ sits up with a stir ] Oh, my goodness!

Dan Aykroyd: That’s just it, Look, Laraine - I love Santa just as much as anybody else, but, December 26th, Noel over here goes back to the Y.

Mall Santa: [ drinking from a bottle of alcohol ] Ho ho ho..

Laraine Newman: But won’t toilet paper protect me?

Dan Aykroyd: Two-ply? Never. Not these germs. Let me show you.

[ show image of Santa’s bare leg ]

Dan Aykroyd: This is a picture of Santa’s leg. Seems normal. But look at the same picture magnified under a microscope.

[ show circular close-up of tiny little men sitting on a street corner, with little hairs surrounding the lens ]

Laraine Newman: Are those Santa’s helpers?

Dan Aykroyd: Yes, those are Santa’s helpers. And they’re communicable. Now, will you stop using the two-ply?

Laraine Newman: What a fool I’ve been! [ replaces her toilet paper with one Santi-Wrap sheet and sits ] Okay.. I want a car, and a refigerator, and -

Dan Aykroyd: Use Santi-rap, and I promise you won’t get one tick.. from jolly St. Nick.

Mall Santa: [ drinking from a bottle of alcohol ] Ho ho ho.. ho.. ho ho..

I can’t imagine anything more appropriate for the residents of New Jersey. You could move out of the festering society, but if you don’t, this is perfect for you.

Mr. b used to dress up as Santa for our school and give out candy. For FREE. That probably wouldn’t be a good idea these days.

My Grandfather(RIP) used to have a Santa Suit, and dress up as Santa for all his grandkids(I’m one). Compared to paying $50.00 every year, I would imagine it would be cheaper to just buy a Santa suit.
