There is a local Hallmark store that put's on a little festival for the kids every year the day after Thanksgiving.
We took the boys and did not tell them that Santa was flying in via helicopter!!!
They had a bouncy house, a firetruck, carolers, face painting and also balloon animals. Once Santa arrived, the kids waited and got their picture taken, and then they each received a free candy cane and a toy. The best part of all is that it was all FREE!!!
