Kids can mail their Christmas lists to the North Pole, but most don't like taking chances. Going straight to Santa is the safest way to go. See where and when to see Santa in Grand Rapids and around West Michigan.

It's a busy week for Christmas parades and visits with Santa around Grand Rapids.

Christmas is going to be here before we know it and the Woodland Mall in Kentwood is celebrating early. On Saturday, November 12th from noon-3 p.m., SantaFest is going to kick off the holiday season and the whole family is invited! The mall will feature different workshops that kids can partake in including: Writing a wishlist for Santa Holiday face painting Christmas Coloring Apron Decorating Po

Just in time for Christmas Eve, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has given permission for Santa's reindeer to fly in Michigan.

Did you know there's a Santa Claus school right here in Michigan?

We are all familiar with what Santa looks like, his look is iconic. Though this year it seems that Santa has undergone a makeover, at least in some areas.

WARNING: The following may tug at your heart strings. A little girl who is hard at hearing took a special trip to see Santa. While sitting on his knee her Mother let the Santa know she can not hear very well. What the Santa did next was heart warming...

Santa is making his rounds as we speak. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has been tracking jolly Old St. Nick since he left the North Pole!

Most kids are happy to sit on Santa's lap and tell the man with the bag what they want for Christmas. However, sometimes, there are kids who have very different reactions from "happy."

I've discussed it before: I'm a terrible person and probably going to Hell. Why? Because one of my favorite things ever is seeing pictures of kids who are completely freaked out by Santa Claus. So, this morning, I've been scouring Flickr looking for my top five favorites. I think I've found them. Check them out after the jump!

The holidays are usually a time for people to be giving, but this takes the CAKE! A very generous Santa went to Hastings Wal-Mart and just paid off 43 different layaway orders! The total of the orders was well over $10,000 and they just wrote a check and went on their way.

Writing this, I have to be honest ... I believe holiday season generally brings out the worst in people.  Everyone is rude, impatient, stressed out, broke and tired.  They're spending money they don't have, to buy presents for someone they probably don't like, who likely won't appreciate the gift...
