Santa Claus dropped by Yanni’s Greek Restaurant at 7419 Greenwood Ave. N. on Sunday for a quick visit.

Peter tells us there weren’t too many kids, but the adults sure seemed happy to see him!

Santa Claus himself will be at Metropolis Cards & Gifts and Rising Stars Children’s Store at 7321 Greenwood Ave. N. from 1-2 p.m. Saturday.

He will be handing out candy canes and interacting with the kiddos. Parents are welcome to bring a camera to snap a picture!

Sandra Coan Photography is offering special Santa photos the day after Thanksgiving, with 25 percent of the proceeds donated to Ballard-based Soulumination.

Soulumination, founded by Lynette Huffman Johnson, celebrates the lives of children and parents facing life threatening conditions by providing professional photographs–free of charge–of these special individuals and their families. The life-affirming photographs of Soulumination are an enduring, positive record of the child’s brief life, and provide a loving legacy for the children of parents lost to terminal illness.

Santa photo appointments are available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 27, at Sandra’s new Greenwood studio, 310 NW 85th St. Packages start at $20. Call 206-841-2260 to make an appointment.
