You better not cry or pout, ‘cause Santa Claus is coming to town!
Christmas Eve isn't the only time of year that Santa makes the trip away from the North Pole - he's stopping in Philly a lot this year! The lovable, jolly man in red will be taking time out of his busy schedule to take family photos, read wish lists and officiate local parades. If you still need to put in a last-minute good word before Santa checks his list twice, now is the time.
We're on Santa Watch here at the Phillyfunguide! If you spot him, let us know on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @Phillyfunguide! Hopefully we made the nice list!
