There are just 15 days left until Christmas…can you believe it? Have you gotten a chance to take your kids to see Santa yet? Maybe you’re a person who takes their kids multiple times in a season. Or maybe you’re like me and you put it off until the very last minute. Whatever the case, today I’m going to share with you a list of places around town where you can take your child(ren) to share their Christmas wish list with the Big Man himself. If your child happens to be like my middle child and is afraid of Santa, you may just capture a photo worthy of our Funniest Holiday Photo contest. If that’s the case, be sure to send the photo of your silly/crazy/crying kiddo(s) to info (at) iowacitymomsblog.com! You could win a $40 gift certificate to erincondren.com AND a family pass to the Iowa Children’s Museum!! Send in your photos TODAY!!
