Patch Picture of the Week Contest

WINNER: Santa Photo Contest

Readers have been uploading photos of the jolly old fellow for nearly a week. We've crowned our winner.

We received dozens of great photos that captured youngsters' (and even pets') moments with Santa Claus. But we could only choose one as the winner of our weekly photo contest, which gives readers the chance to win a $25 gift card. Our winner this week depicts moments that are familiar to many parents who eagerly bring their children to meet St. Nick, much to the chagrin of their less-than-pleased children. Congratulations to Kathryn Duplessis, who submitted the photo. We will be contacting you, Kathryn, to make arrangements for you to receive your prize. Thanks to all who entered!

Patch Picture of the Week Contest

PHOTO CONTEST: Show Us Santa!

The jolly old fellow has been making stops at malls and events all over the region. Upload pictures with him for a chance at a $25 gift card.

Santa has had a busy schedule in the MetroWest area this month. (See our map for all the places he has been or will be.) In our photo contest this week, we want to see your photos with or of Santa.

Photos must be uploaded by 6 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, Dec. 17. You may enter as many photos as you'd like. If you like a particular photo, voice your support for it in the comments. The winner, chosen by Patch …
