This is great! Thank you so much! I know it's not in St. Louis, but Eckert's in Belleville has a nice breakfast with Santa and cut-your-own Christmas trees.
Thanks everyone for adding to the list!! Keep it coming!

Thank you so much for including the Pet-acular Holiday Bazaar on your list! Admission and parking are free. It's great for the whole family, including the dog!
St Charles Rock Road to Brown Rd, South 2 blocks to Windom Ave, is the greatest home display in the County. Bring can goods to give. You get out of your car and will be there over 30 minutes and still feel like you haven't seen everything.
