Santa set to arrive in Victoria

By Robert Randall • Published on Friday, December 24, 2010

Santa Claus and his magical reindeer are due to arrive in Victoria in a few hours and officials from the City of Victoria are ready to welcome the jolly old elf to the capital city.

In fact, only a few routine pieces of paperwork need to be completed before Saint Nick can complete his task of bringing toys for the region’s boys and girls.

Is it just me or did Hillside Mall not have their usual string of Christmas lights up around Bolen Books?

Come to think of it, I haven't seen many Christmas lights up at all this year.

I'm sure somehow it's the new Wal-Mart's fault.

Huh...what do you know--truth is stranger than fiction!
