Where to find Santa in the Helsinki area

Anyone know where we can take a picture with Santa in the Helsinki area? I thought I'd have found something by now, but apparently I'm a slacker!

He is indeed! He takes his time with the kids and even sang a little song for my 2 y.o. son with his harmonica. Needless to say my little one was impressed and so happy, he is still talking about him!

Do note, that if you are looking for a US type "take picture with Santa" type of thing (kid sitting in Santa's lap and the store takes a picture that you can buy) then at least I have never seen that here. You can find a Santa in almost any bigger mall and CM/Prisma type store, but they are usually walking around and giving candies to children. So, bring your own camera!
