It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The lights are twinkling, sunsets linger a little longer, beach days sneak between the festive chaos, everyone’s a bit more relaxed, and Christmas is right around the corner.
But before we get too carried away with the holiday cheer, a quick shout-out to the real MVPs of the season: parents. Often overshadowed by the jolly man who shows up once a year, you’re the ones creating the true magic. From Elf on the Shelf antics and advent calendars to cookie decorating, festive movies, and strategically placed snacks for Santa, trust me, as a 27-year-old, these are the moments that stick. They’re the memories that make the season unforgettable and keep the wonder alive.
And now, without further ado, here’s your ultimate guide to spotting Santa Claus in Durban. Snap a photo, wish yourself a little luck, and get ready for your child’s heart-melting Christmas list – because we all know who’s really buying those gifts (the elves, of course!).
