The Little Village Chamber of Commerce and Special Service Area #25 (SSA #25) hosted a free Christmas “Toy Drive/Posada” on Friday, Dec. 9th at the Manuel Perez Jr. Memorial Plaza, with a special visit from Santa.  Posada means inn or lodging, and is traditionally a celebration of the Christmas story. Posadas take place on nine nights from December 16 to 24 and commemorates the journey that Joseph and Mary made from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of a safe refuge where Mary could give birth to baby Jesus. The Little Village Chamber of Commerce and SSA #25 were joined by local families, elected officials, business, and community leaders to celebrate this joyous Christmas tradition.
