Top 10 Places to See Santa This Holiday Season
See the big guy and grab a picture at these local places this month!
The month of December is, without a doubt, the busiest time of the year for Santa. However, he tries his best to see every little boy and girl...and even pets, before he makes his rounds on Christmas Eve. We gathered the best places to track him down this holiday season.

10. Home
Santa is a busy guy, but there is no doubt that he visits every house on Christmas Eve. Stay up late and try to enjoy some chocolate chip cookies and milk with him. Maybe if you ask nicely he will even let you take a picture. Just don't take it personally if he doesn't stay long!
