Chicago Santa Photo Call Out: Send Patch Your Santa Visit Pics

CHICAGO, IL — Santa Claus is coming to several spots across the Chicago area, which means there are many opportunities to get your family and/or children photographed with him. Patch is compiling a gallery of festive — and often funny — photos from readers' visits with Santa.

If you have a shareable photo from your 2018 visit with Santa, shoot us an email. We'll add it to the 2018 Chicago Santa visits gallery leading up to Christmas, which this year falls on Tuesday, Dec. 25.

Please include the following information in your email:

• Date and location of photo event
• Age of child/children
• First names (optional)

Feel free to also tell us what your child asked Santa for — gift suggestions can sometimes make great photo captions.

IMPORTANT: We're going to assume that Patch has permission to use every photo that is submitted for this feature.

Send your information and pictures to rebecca.bream@patch.com.
