You better not pout. You better not cry. You better not shout. I’m telling you why. Santa has come to Atlanta and he has a lot of Christmas spirit to share. There are numerous places around the city that families can visit jolly Old Saint Nick. Whether a first timer or a long time believer, children, adults and even pets can visit with the man in red. As part of a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, I photographed Santa visiting with the young and the young at heart at Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody.
