Santa Claus May be known for his home up North
But Cheyenne, Wyoming holds a little secret...
The North WEST Pole is Santa's cherished old ranching homestead. With a love for wide, open spaces, perfect for soaking up the holiday spirit, Santa has been gracing the Magic City of the Plains with his presence every December since the Wild West days - a tradition that continues in style during Cheyenne's very own Old West Holiday!
Downtown Cheyenne undergoes a spectacular transformation into a Western Winter Wonderland, where Santa's favorite spots are open for all to enjoy. Who knows? You might just bump into the Big Guy himself! Swing by the Pony Express to share your wish list, stop by Kringle Ranch and Santa's Stables, and don't forget to fill your passport at all the Santa Stops along the way. And for an extra dose of holiday cheer, pay a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Claus at the Whipple House on 17th Street and let him know exactly what's on your Christmas wishlist!
The Story of Cheyenne's Old West Holiday
In the heart of the West, where the buffalo roam,
Santa discovered a second sweet home.
He flew over Cheyenne one cold winter night,
And was charmed by the twinkling and magical lights.
He was tired and cold and in need of a treat,
So he landed his team in downtown... right on the street!
He found a snug stable, both cozy and warm,
A haven of peace from the cold winter storm.
He stopped into The Albany to grab a quick bite,
But made friends rather quickly with the cowboys inside.
"These people are joyful, so kind and sincere,
I think we will stay and make a homestead right here.
"Now he returns to the plains year after year,
To rest before Christmas with friends he holds dear.
By hearths he finds cocoa and stories of old,
Where the warmth of the season is richer than gold.
The spirit of Christmas shines brightest right here
For Santa himself holds Cheyenne ever dear.
When the town's all aglow you'll hear him chuckle and say...
“Merry Christmas to all — the Old West Holiday way!”
