The Santa Claus Chapel

Located right beside US 1 at 15 Holly Street in Santa Claus (approx. 2.5 miles south of Lyons in Toombs County). Although the chapel was just built in 2014, Santa Claus became a city in 1941. It has a city hall where you can mail your cards at Christmas for a special post mark and the streets have Christmas names. The Chapel seats 40 and is surrounded by a one acre prayer garden with music playing during the day. There is a gazebo in the left of the picture where we enjoyed a quiet and peaceful picnic in the early fall. The chapel was not locked so we were able to go inside and look around. It has beautiful stained glass windows. Not sure of their schedule but they do hold services there.
