Nellysford / Stoney Creek
Nelson County, Virginia
It was a night of caroling, hot chocolate, tree lighting, and of course Santa! He hitched a ride to Stoney Creek Bar & Grill for their annual tree lighting via a fire truck from Wintergreen Fire & Rescue. “The reindeer have to rest right now, we can’t zap their energy before Christmas Eve. That’s our longest working night of the year,” Santa told us as he was preparing to have kids visit and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.
Jackson Winter (in Santa hat) along with his dad, Colin, his mom, Amy, and sister Anna, give Santa a wish list for this Christmas. The night began with Christmas carols in front of Stoney Creek Bar and Grill, just before the tree lighting. Santa gets a helping hand down from the fire truck after arriving at Stoney Creek this past Wednesday night.

“I have lots to do between now and Christmas Eve, so I will be heading back to the North Pole between my visits here with kids,” Santa told us Wednesday night.
