There are just a few short weeks left in 2015…and we want you to make the most out of them. Here are some fun, family-friendly activities that will ensure you start 2016 with no regrets!

1. Let Santa Know What You Want For Christmas

Santa is all over the place in December. You can see him in downtown Wilmington at the Cotton Exchange, at the Mall, at Mayfaire, Airlie Gardens and more.

You can also see Santa on the Henrietta III for just the admission price of 6 non-perishable food items.
