Kids of all ages have dropped their letters to Santa in the red mailbox on the outside of Santa’s House in Rehoboth Beach to ensure North Pole delivery this year. There are plenty of opportunities to see the man in red before he takes his trip around the world. His visiting hours will be 3 to 5 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 10, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 11 and 3 to 5 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 17. After that he will be back at the North Pole preparing for the big day.
To submit pictures with Santa in Rehoboth Beach, email them to meghan@beach-fun.com for consideration, and include a statement giving the chamber permission to use on the website or in print, or go to www.Beach-Fun.com.
