THE APPEARANCE of Santa’s Headquarters on the Common is a sure sign that Christmas is coming. Santa will arrive at his headquarters at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 via sleigh provided by Designer Lawn Sprinkler escorted by Wakefield Police. Families are invited to come and welcome Santa to town. Children will be able to visit Santa at his headquarters following his arrival. Santa will also welcome children weekdays from 3:30-7 p.m. and weekends from 1-5 p.m. until Dec. 23. (Mark Sardella Photo)
