Christmas is almost upon us. Experience the magic of Christmas by visiting Santa in various parts of Melbourne with your near and dear ones.

1. Myer Christmas Window
Santa is back to Myer Christmas Window for another year of festivity and fun. Gather your little ones or organise your friends and gallop to the Myer on Bourke Street Mall to catch a glimpse of Santa and his entourage, brighter, bigger and shinier than ever.

The 2012 Myer Christmas Window theme is based on the story of Russell the Sheep who rescued Christmas after Santa and his reindeer dived to earth. This story has been penned by the UK writer Rob Scotton's and the book is titled "Russell's Christmas Magic". This lovely story has been given a 3 dimensional portrayal through various statues and stuffed dolls. Follow the story as you linger from one window to another and be enthralled by the beautiful figurines. This is indeed an unmissable Christmas event.
