This is a wildly busy day for Santa Claus. He’s scheduled to visit several places, some of them simultaneously. But really–isn’t that the skill he’s known for?
Santa’s first appearance will be at the Golden Chamber’s sold-out Breakfast with Santa at 8:30. Then, of course, he’ll be in the Olde Golden Christmas Parade at 10:30.
The Applewood Valley Methodist Church is offering photos with Santa from 10-1, with a gift for each child.
Santa will be at Avenue Gifts from 11-3.
He and Mrs. Claus will be at the Railroad Museum from 11-2. (This one has a sentimental place in my heart, since the Railroad Museum is where we always took our daughter to see Santa!)
Don’t forget that Santa keeps a mailbox at the Golden Visitors Center, and letters received by December 15th will be answered. (Please include a return address in your letter so he can respond.)
Jolynn’s Food & Spirits (1224 Washington Avenue–map) is offering Brunch with the Christmas Bear from 10AM-2PM.
The Chamber is offering FREE HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE RIDES from noon till 3PM. The rides start in front of Wings of Eagles, at 805 12th St.
