Hello, when your store offers Free Santa Picture for their customers, does Home Depot pay Santa? I live in McAllen Texas and stopped to ask if they ever thought of having Santa and the Manager said they have no Need at this time. I went on line and found out the Austin Store does have a real Santa for their Customers so that’s why I’m reaching out to y’all, please respond I would greatly appreciate it. Have a great day.
