—>Is Billy Bob Thornton available? For the first time ever, every single Walmart will feature Santa. Also, there will be free 5" x 7" photos to be had while supplies last.

From the press release:

"We're committed to saving people money so they can have a merrier Christmas with their friends and family," said Lori Kumar, Wal-Mart's divisional merchandise manager for photo processing. "Offering free photos with Santa is one more way parents can save at Wal-Mart this Christmas. And with most mall kiosk Santa photos costing $10 or more, we're expecting to save American families at least $5 million over the next three weekends on these photo keepsakes."
