Santa Will Come to Newtown Square Before Christmas

The weather related rescheduling of Newtown Square’s Annual community Christmas Tree lighting provided an answer to the question, ”Will Santa come to Newtown Square in time for the yearly, pre-Christmas tour of the Township?” Very cheerfully, Santa answered, “Of course I am going to continue this long-time tradition.”

The days for this year’s visits are Friday, December 20 and Saturday, December 21. The Friday tour of the southern part of the Newtown Square will begin at 5:30 p.m. On Saturday, the tour of the northern part of the Township will begin at 4:30 p.m.

Following this year’s Christmas Tree lighting Santa told the local volunteers they were to share with the children and their parents a simple safety rule. He said, “When Santa comes to the neighborhoods, all children must stay on the sidewalks and lawns. Stay away from the street.” The North Pole visitors added, “The firefighters will come to the children.”
