Mason Browder, 6, had quite a list to give Santa as he perched on the big guy’s knee Tuesday inside the Covington Mall. Items on his list included creepy crawlers and a microscope. To read what other children throughout the county have put on their wish list this year, see the “Letters to Santa” special section inside. For those who want to whisper their list in Santa’s ear and grab a quick picture before the big day can do so today from 9 a.m. until noon and from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. and on Thursday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. for a $5 donation.
