Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month I photographed the Snappy Hour and Wounded Warrior Project event at the Santa HQ in Tysons Corner Center. The evening following the opening ceremony of the set was reserved for the Wounded Warrior Project. Having this time specified for injured veterans and their families was very accommodating so they could spend some time in the set without a crowd waiting in line for them.

Snappy Hour

Another event that week was the Snappy Hour held at the Santa HQ set. In contrast to the kids that are usually the visitors, this event focused on adults looking to network with drinks and eats from Earl’s. Furthermore with Santa hanging around, it was perfect for ‘snapping’ some Instagrams!

Tysons Corner Center

Last week, I photographed the 2018 Santa HQ Opening at Tysons Corner Center. Tommy McFly and Jen Richer were there to host the festivities like they have done in previous years. With a band playing, Santa made his entrance to the HGTV set that will be where his portrait sessions will be. Since there were no events prior to this opening, this was my first attempt at seeing him this year. However, I know that he will have a packed schedule once it gets going! With Tysons celebrating 50 years this year, it is not the first year for this Santa either. Moreover, I saw some parents bringing their kids to see the same Santa that they saw as a kid!

2017 Santa Visits

This is an emotional reflection of the 2017 Santa Visits outside of the mall. By all means Santa is a big draw to Tysons Corner Center during the holidays. However, not everyone can make it to see him. Despite his very busy schedule, Santa makes time for visits outside of the mall. Following the big guy around medial centers in the area is very inspiring. While trying to keep the spirit of the season in mind, Santa brings such good feelings to patients and workers that are going through tough times. Cancer does not know that it is the Christmas season, and kids do not want to be going through treatments. In the hope that Santa can give them a small distraction, he really gives all of his energy to lift the spirits of patients and their families.
