Santa Claus was a busy guy around Sarnia-Lambton Saturday.
Thousands lined Christina St. for the Sarnia Kinsmen Parade of Lights.
The procession included over 40 floats and several marching bands including entries from Rochester Michigan and the Port Huron area.
Students from Sarnia Christian School collected food and cash donations for the Inn of the Good Shepherd, and postal workers collected letters to Santa.
There were also Santa Claus parades Saturday in Thedford at 6:30pm, Petrolia at 2pm and in Watford at 10am.
