Santa will park his sleigh on Steinway Street on December 7, 14 and 21where he will head to a holiday wonderland for visits with local youngsters.

Children will share their holiday lists with the jolly old elf at the Jackson Hewitt office at 28- 17 Steinway St. in Astoria. Santa's elves will be on hand at Jackson Hewitt to capture the magic in a photo surprise that kids and parents will cherish for years to come.

Children can visit Santa at Jackson Hewitt from noon to 4 p.m. December 7, 14 and 21 thanks again this year to sponsorship by the Steinway-Astoria Partnership and in collaboration with the Jackson Hewitt Tax Service.

Santa's "Winter Wonderland", a gift to the children of Astoria and Long Island City, was created several years ago by students at the Queens School of Career Development.
