This year, Santa will dust off that old suit he wore back then and make an appearance at Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre.
Guests can make old-time holiday decorations and Pomander balls with citrus fruit and cloves to take home for decorating their tree or give as gifts. Pictures with Santa available at $5 for 4x6 or $10 for 8x10
