One of our favorite things this time of year is to take the kids to see Santa. We try to visit as often as possible. My kids have grown up knowing that the Santas we see are Santa’s helpers (it helps to explain why all of the Santas look different) and they love to tell each Santa something different for Christmas. Or just to get the chance to say cheese with Santa. I don’t pay to see Santa.
So if you live in South Maryland, where can you see Santa, for free?
