Christmas is a Busy Time in Downtown Woodstock

December 9, 2013

Woodstock Community InformationWith the holiday season coming in to full swing, events in downtown Woodstock continue up until shortly before Christmas and present opportunities for fun celebrating the holidays in a number of ways, no matter what your age.

Two events involving Santa which would be perfect for the kids are scheduled or underway.

Santa’s Mailbox –

Have the kids drop off their letters to Santa in the North Pole Mailbox!  The mailbox is set up in the gazebo at The Park at City Center (101 Arnold Mill Rd.) until Monday, December 16.  Just before Christmas, they will receive a personalized letter back from Santa!  Please check the magazine as there’s specifics about what to include in the envelope like name, address etc.

Santa at the Woodstock Visitors Center –

Santa will be visiting the Woodstock Visitors Center at 8588 Main St. located at Historic Dean’s Store on Saturday, December 14 from 1pm to 2pm. Great chance for the kids to visit with Santa and have their picture taken with him. It is free to have a picture taken with Santa, but you must bring your own camera.
