## About

Santa Cares is Westfield Galleria at Roseville's sensory-friendly Santa session, set for the morning of Sunday, December 6, from 8 to 9 AM. It is meant for families with children who have any kind of special need: the mall says accommodations are made for the sensory, physical and developmental needs of Santa's guests, so a child who finds the regular holiday crowd and noise hard can still sit with Santa and get a photo in a calmer setting. Appointments can be booked through the mall's Santa reservation site, and walk-ins are also welcome during the hour. The visit takes place at the Santa set in Center Court near JCPenney, the same spot used for regular Photos with Santa; photo packages are sold separately. Arrive a little early if your child does better with time to settle in.
