Mall Will Page Kids to See Santa Claus

[newyawker99]

Children anxious to see Santa Claus at The Crosswinds mall this holiday season may have to wait, but it won't be in a long line.

Santa's helpers will instead hand out pagers that will beep, flash and vibrate to alert parents and kids when it's time for children to take their turn on Santa's knee.

Families can carry the pagers - similar to those handed out at restaurants - throughout the mall, allowing them to get more Christmas shopping done without losing a precious place in line.

"We'll never have a line more than 12 families," Crosswinds marketing representative Al Shifflett III told the Kalamazoo Gazette. "No one should have to wait (in line) more than 30 minutes."
