This weekend in the Illawarra the festive celebrations really start to take hold so it is also a good weekend to check out some of the Christmas lights in your neighbourhood.
There are lots of community Christmas carol celebrations happening with the Santa Fest Carols in Wollongong at Lang Park on Sunday night starting at 4 pm.
And if you are one of the 10,000 people enjoying the Santa Claus Pub Crawl this weekend? Please stay safe. Look after yourself and each other.
