It may not make a difference, but Michael Graham has been a staple in the community for 18 years. People recognize his face, know his friendly nature, and look forward to seeing him every year. This petition goes to show how much he was appreciated and that the community wants him back in our area and part of our holidays.
Here is the story from washingtonpost.com

Once there is a significant number of signatures, I will email it to the President of Macerich (Management company of Tysons Corner Center) Please feel free to email the link to all of your friends and family, maybe Macerich will hear the voice of the people and realize they made a mistake!
I really thought this might just be a small thing I started out of frustration but look at how many people actually feel this loss. Watching the list grow makes me feel like Michael might actually see how much he is missed by everyone who visited him over those eighteen years.

This is ridiculous. He IS the real Santa for this area. Bad move by the mall management.

Grew up seeing him at the mall. He is such a kind person and truly magical for the kids. Please listen to your customers!

Why mess with a tradition that everyone loves? Find a new mall to shop at if they dont fix this mess.
