Santa's Village - But No Santa

Last Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 while I was at work, we got an email from Santa's Village. Everyone who is a member of Early Works could go to Santa's Village from 5-7 for free. Only thing was Santa would not be there. Everything else was there but no Santa. On my home, I called Matt and asked if we wanted to go. We didn't have anything else to do so after dinner we quickly changed into Christmas clothes and off we went. Usually Santa's village is $12 a person and VERY crowded. Also it is usually so cold you don't enjoy it. You can check out our previous visits here and here. When we went it was amazing. We were the only people there (what did you expect they sent out an email an hour before you could go). It was nice and warm. No lines. It was free (hey I am cheap if you didn't know). It was great!!! We got to see and do everything without having to wait or fight the crowds. The only thing was there was no Santa. That wasn't a big deal. We aren't that big on Santa and I figure we can go somewhere else and get pictures with him if we decide to later. We had the best time!!

Ben and Kate had the best time playing together.
They had the best Christmas music playing so we had the best time dancing.
Since no one was there we put on our own show.
We highly recommend Santa's Village without Santa. Makes for a great way to kick off the holiday season! We are getting into full holiday mode around our house. I love this time of year.
