Photo Gallery: Santa Lights Up the Night in This 'Hood

East of Sepulveda Boulevard, from Marine Avenue to Manhattan Beach Boulevard past Meadows to Rowell, Santa visits a neighborhood of kids eager to say, "Hi."

Editor's Note: You may have seen our video of Santa's first night out in Manhattan Beach neighborhoods, but he spends many a night hitting all of MB. The dear dude only has two nights of visits left. Here's a photo gallery of a visit east of Sepulveda Tuesday night.

Just after he began his nightly trek to see kids of all ages in Manhattan Beach, Santa Claus and his helpers were stopped by Ryan Vena's family. No sooner had Santa stopped and another family appeared, there to see Santa.

Some kids were really scared say "Hi" to Santa, but his charm helped them to overcome their fear. As a festive air swirled about, kids and adults joined in for some serious street fun with Mr. Claus.

Magnolia Street neighbors had organized a party and lots of kids were waiting there to see Santa Claus. When he drove off, kids could take a pony ride, complements of those who made the arrangements.
