FORT IRWIN, Calif. — Residents participated in several events around post to get into the holiday spirit. The Holiday Market and Tree Lighting ceremony and a “Break- fast with Santa” event kicked off all of the celebrations.
There were also photos with Santa Claus at the main he- lipad, which is something unique to a military installation. St. Nick posed in a Blackhawk.

No one could forget our furry friends, so the post Vet Clinic welcomed residents to bring their fur kids to take a picture with Santa. There were also hot cocoa and doggy treats provided.
