Central Virginia Meet Santa
Here at Napier ERA, our real estate agents love all the excitement of the holiday season. The hustle and bustle of the holidays are worth it to see the looks of joy on children's faces. It's the season to dream big, and that means none other than Santa Claus makes an appearance!

No matter whether you're visiting Richmond to look at homes or you've already set down roots here, you're sure to find some real Christmas excitement in Virginia. Towns, museums, and malls will have cheerful holiday displays headlined by "the big guy" himself.

Let's look at five local favorites:

Sensitive Santa Sensory-Friendly Visit - Children's Museum of Richmond - 626 W Broad St., Richmond
The Richmond Children's Museum is offering a visit with Old St. Nick through its Sensitive Santa program. It's a calm, quiet experience for kids who sometimes find things overwhelming. Visitors will have access to Children's Museum Downtown exhibits and the Genworth Holiday Village, too – hey, who knew that the North Pole was so close to Richmond homes for sale?
Storytime with Santa - Southpark Mall - Southpark Circle, Colonial Heights
Storytime with Santa is a real treat for kids that you can enjoy not far from the best Colonial Heights homes for sale. The fun starts at 9 am at the nearby Chick-fil-A restaurant for a brief breakfast. Then, kids will head to the magnificent Santa set over at the Southpark Mall for a Christmas story they'll never forget. Maybe afterward, it'll be time to pick out some gifts, too!
Santa's Arrival & Tree Lighting - Short Pump Town Center, 11800 West Broad St., Richmond
Santa is coming! Why not get a seat close to the action for Santa's Arrival & Tree Lighting, the cornerstone of Christmas celebrations here in Richmond? There are two stars of this annual event: Santa, of course, and the 60-foot, walk-through tree. It even features a 22-foot reindeer!
Brunch with Santa - Matchbox Vintage Pizza Bistro, 11720 W. Broad St., Richmond
Enjoy favorite dishes from Matchbox Vintage Pizza Bistro when you take your family to Brunch with Santa December 15. Kids will love the cookie decorating station, hot chocolate bar, and holiday crafts, as well as a visit with Santa. A photographer will be on hand to help you remember the occasion. On your way home, be sure to check out Glen Allen homes for sale.
Santa's North Pole Annex Train Station - Westchester Commons, 317 Perimeter Drive, Midlothian
Midlothian homes for sale have a special surprise: They're right along the route of the famous North Pole Express! Westchester Commons has hosted the popular Santa's North Pole Annex Train Station event for years. Smiles will be on every face as families have professional photos taken with Santa and his 19-foot train engine. There will be fun holiday decorations and plenty of other surprises for good girls and boys!
