“He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, he’s going to find out who’s naughty or nice. Santa Claus is coming to town”.

South Hadley’s 18th annual Holiday stroll on the common is approaching! Kids are able to ‘mail’ their Christmas list to Santa at the South Hadley Post Office. All the way from the north pole, Santa will be here for pictures. You do not want to miss the lighting of the Tree. Festivities are December 5, 2008 and begin at 5:30pm on the South Hadley Common.
