On the Park Slope Parents list-serve,  people have been asking where to find Santa Claus. Turns out he will be making an appearance on Saturday December 1 at the  Lefferts Historic House near the Prospect Park Zoo and the Merry Go Round. 

Get the jump on Santa Claus when the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum celebrates St. Nicholas Day, the traditional Dutch holiday. The jolly man himself will arrive on horseback, and for more rustic charm, visitors can take a candlelight holiday tour to see how Brooklyn celebrated before electricity.
Noon-4 pm at the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum (5816 Clarendon Rd. at 58th Street in Ditmas Park). $3. For information, call (718) 629-5400

      inside the Park’s Willink Entrance, at the intersection of Flatbush and
      Ocean Avenues and Empire Boulevard. Lefferts is also on the Blue
      Trail.
