“And then they take it half way to Armada and store it in a barn so they can go to the Armada parade the next night”. Apparently decorating the Christmas tree, however, wasn’t enough to put the mall administration in the Christmas spirit. Celebrate with good cheer, hot cocoa and cookies, the debut of the Haven Brothers Concessions Food Truck, carolers, visits with Santa and the elves, skating performances with the Island Skating Academy and of course, they’ll get you out on the ice for your first skate of the winter.

Staten Island Mall has experienced Christmas outrage in the past. “When this happened, people were upset but business went on as usual at the mall”. The sets represent Christmas locally and from many cultures and countries, including Germany, Japan, Israel, Brazil, Hawaii, Africa, the Philippines, Italy, Mexico and others.
However, mall authorities have finally pushed too far this year. Photos with Santa are available for $8.
