Kris Kringle will be making his rounds on the South End soon.

During the upcoming week, the big red man is expected to make appearances at Greenbank Farm and atop a South Whidbey Fire and EMT engine traveling through Langley and Clinton.

He can also be found accepting children’s wishes during the Greenbank Farm Holiday Market on Dec. 14 and 15, from noon to 2:30 p.m.

Then, on Dec. 16, Santa’s sleigh will be traveling a route starting at 6 p.m. at Payless Foods and ending around 7:30 at Bayview Station 36.

His route on Dec. 16 will start at 6 p.m. at Bailey’s Corner Store and end around 8 p.m. at Ken’s Corner Red Apple.

Santa’s final route on Dec. 18, starting at 6 p.m., begins at Clinton Foodmart and ends behind the Star Store around 7:30 p.m.

With so many opportunities to see Jolly Old Saint Nick on South Whidbey, there’s no excuse to avoid being merry and keeping spirits bright this holiday season.
