Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with some bundled-up little helpers, visited downtown Oxford Saturday afternoon as part of the chamber of commerce’s annual Christmas parade. Santa’s float won the award for Best Overall parade entry thanks to the many volunteers and businesses who donated time and supplies. Photo by C.J. Carnacchio.

Santa and Mrs. Claus dropped by for a visit Tuesday during the Rotary Club of Oxford’s annual Christmas party for area senior citizens at Oxford Hills Golf and Country Club. Jolly Old Saint Nick recited some ‘Santa trivia? and led the crowd in a few Christmas carols while Mrs. Claus dispensed kisses of a chocolate variety.
