Visit Santa While He's in Town!
Cleveland is one of Santa's favorite places; and each year, Santa takes some time to vacation in here before heading back to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. This year, we got ahold of the top elf in charge of Santa's travel schedule and they shared with us a list of where Santa will be while he's in town. According to the elf, Santa would love to see as many little friends as he can while he's here. So check out the map below and visit Santa for a picture, a hug, and maybe a last-minute Christmas Gift request.
