Santa Claus may be coming to town tonight, but he already paid a visit to Freedom Township earlier this month.

The township held its Freedom Christmas at the Town Hall on Dec. 10. Santa managed to make an appearance before getting down to business checking his list and packing up his sleigh.

The event also included hot chocolate and crafts for the kids.
