Okay, y’all. Today’s post is for all of my local readers. If you live in Columbia, South Carolina or within reasonable driving distance of Columbia, South Carolina, this post is just for you!
One of our favorite holiday events every year is PJs With Santa as part of the Junior League of Columbia’s annual Holiday Market. I did the decorations for Holiday Market for a few years and then worked on the PJs with Santa committee last year, so this event is near and dear to my heart.
First of all, Santa is the real Santa. Seriously. He has the most beautiful beard and the prettiest Santa suit and this incredibly regal chair. He is just Santa! And my kids love him! Just look at my boys with him over the past couple of years.
In addition to having the best Santa in the world, this event has tons of fun activities for the kids like cookie decorating, balloon artist, Little Gym, Tag it Art, watching classic Christmas movies, and a scavenger hunt around the market! It’s always such a fun night. I can shop a little bit, the kids can do fun Christmas activities, meet Santa, and we get a fantastic photo!
The photo is taken by Jennifer Gray Photography and is a high quality, high res photo.
This year’s event is on Friday, December 5 at from 5-8 p.m. at the Cantey Building at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds.
Tickets are $8 per child/adult and children 12 months and younger are admitted free.
You can find more information about Holiday Market and PJs With Santa here, and purchase tickets.
But today, I am giving away 2 tickets to PJs With Santa!
To enter, just leave a comment on this post and I will pick a winner before November 14.
