Christmas at the Dallas Galleria, Dallas Texas

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Santa Claus is in his village at the Dallas Galleria from November 21st 2009 thru December 24th, 2009.  Look for him on Level 2 near Saks Fifth Avenue every day during shopping hours.  If he is not in the village head over to the Galleria’s Ice Skating Rink.  If it is on a Saturday in December 2009 (the 5th, the 12th or the 19th of December) at 5PM he will be on the ice performing back flips.  This is the only place to see Santa Missle Toes in action.  As you enjoy the skating show feast your eyes on the majestic Christmas Tree rising over the ice skating rink.  This Christmas Tree, the country’s tallest indoor Christmas Tree, will enthrall young and old.
