I do hope Santa will be packing some longjohns when he visits Webster this Saturday afternoon for White Christmas, because it will definitely be cold — although not as snowy as he’s used to at the North Pole.
He’s going to need those thermal undergarments when he settles into his Santa chair, which for the first time will be set up in the gazebo at Veterans Memorial Park. The park will be transformed into Santa’s beloved North Pole, complete with twinkly lights, lots of holiday decorations and plenty of elves.
Mrs. Claus will be there, too, as Santa welcomes good little boys and girls to visit him from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday. Make sure they bring their wish lists, which can be handed right to Santa or deposited in his personal mailbox.
Following your visit with Santa, there’ll be plenty to do, beginning right at 3 p.m., including:
- caroling
- Toy Land, where visitors are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys
- storytime with Jason Poole from the Webster Public Library at Yesterday’s Muse 5 p.m.
- cookie decorating
- carriage rides through the village
- hot cocoa
- a candy cane scavenger hunt
- Festival of Trees voting at the Webster Museum
- live music at the Webster Museum from 3 to 4:30
- special events and treats at the Harmony House
- free 20-minute infrared sauna sessions at ROC &Soul Fitness from 3 to 6 p.m. (Click here to register)
- great shopping at our small businesses
- the Parade of Lights begins at 6:30 p.m. and travels west from Kircher Park down Main Street to Pierce St.
There’s more stuff, too, but basically it’s going to be a really fun time for the whole family. And I’ll be out there taking my hundreds of photos, as always.

This is Jason from the Webster Public Library! There will be a few of us from the youth department there to share stories and songs and we will be at the Gazebo in Veterans Park from 5:30-6:15, right after Santa’s visit. You might say Santa is the opening act ;).
