Ho-Ho-Ho: Santa Claus comes to the Christmas market
Wearing a red coat with a long white beard, Santa Claus travels all over the world during the Christmas season. There's hardly room for everything in his calendar. But we have heard that he wants to be at the Thun Christmas market.
What goodies does Santa Claus have in his bags for all the children?
St. Nicholas is looking forward to seeing everyone - young and old.
