That jolly old elf, Santa Claus has arrived at Westwood Village and you can find him to tell him what you want for Christmas just east of the entrance to Bed, Bath and Beyond from 10 am to 2:30pm and 3:30pm to 8pm Mondays through Saturdays and Sundays 11am to 2:30pm and 3:30pm to 6pm.

Photos are available through Arthur and Associates Holiday Photography (you can see sample photos at www.santaphotos.com) with packages starting at $15 for four wallet photos or $21 for a 5x7 image.

There's a Salvation Army Christmas Angel Tree at the same location for children who would really benefit from your help. The tree is laden with tags that mention a specific item you can purchase for a child. Select the tag, go purchase the item and bring it back to the tree. It will be collected by the Salvation Army and given to that child for Christmas.

Kids can also win a stuffed penguin by entering the coloring contest with images of "Westie" the Westwood Penguin available on site. Winners are drawn randomly each Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
