		Christmas-Billy Claus Fly-By - December This Christmas event at LuLu’s is not one to miss! Children's imaginations run wild during the holiday season in anticipation of a visit from the jolly man named Claus with a white beard and rosy cheeks. But every Christmas on the Gulf Coast, a different member of the Claus family makes a special stop exclusively LuLu's at Homeport Marina. If you haven’t heard, Billy Claus is Santa’s younger brother, whose allergy to snow has enabled him to live in the Caribbean while helping his busy big-bro collect toy lists from little girls and boys in the Southern hemisphere. Lucy Buffett will read the story of her good friend Billy as everyone awaits his arrival in his seaplane with the LulaBelles (his version of elves). Children are invited to bring their letters to Santa that Billy will deliver and have their pictures taken. Click here to view the photo gallery!
