‘Christmas at the Farm’ in Herndon

Santa and friends make little ones smile at Frying Pan Park.

Families in the community celebrated the holidays with Santa and friends at Fairfax County's ‘Christmas at the Farm’ held at Frying Pan Farm Park in Herndon on Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018. The little ones enjoyed a variety of Christmas-themed activities, including cookie decorating, games, a craft, letter-writing to Santa and a Santa-driven tractor wagon ride.

Jeremy and Jennifer Sontag of Oak Hill brought their two sons, Ethan, 4½, and Owen, 1½, to the park. "We did this last year, and it was fun," said dad Jeremy. It's a low-key way to get in the spirit. No crowds and easy to get tickets. Next, we're going to get our Christmas tree, up the street at Gerald's trees."
