For many, “Santa’s Village” in East Dundee, Illinois holds great memories. I know my children had birthday parties, and many great days in the sun with fun. This was followed by my grandkids doing likewise. Later, they added the water park, allowing for even more adventures and escape from reality. Yes, for many, even today, a day at Santa’s Village is a day of JUST PLAIN FUN!
Would you like to have a day at Santa’s Village? You can! Write a letter ( to Santa) telling him why you want to bring your family to Santa’s Village. It could be about your past memories and how you want your family to experience the same. It could be that you have heard some wonderful stories from others and would LOVE to have those experiences as well.
Write the letter and send it to: Santa Claus
