POSITIVELY JAX 🎅 Stephen, 10, who has autism, returns eagerly every year for what’s become his annual meet and greet with Old St. Nick at the 'Caring Santa' event at the Avenues Mall.
– Santa Claus had special interactions Sunday with guests at The Avenues Mall through the “Caring Santa” program, which allows families with special needs children and adults to book private sessions with the big guy.
“He waits to put the Christmas tree up, and so then coming to see Santa and give him his list, he just looks forward to it every year,” Kaye said. “When he was younger, in particular, a crazy busy mall would have been just way too much for him,” Kaye explained. “There’s no pressure. You could have as much time as you need. When he was younger, we got to explore all of the props even before we got close to Santa. We got to touch everything that was there without feeling like anybody was going to be mad at us for doing that,” Kaye said.
