OSWEGO, IL — Let's hear those sleigh bells jingalin' in Oswego. As the holiday season approaches its grand finale, there are still a few events to catch in Oswego and its surrounding areas, no matter what age! Take the kids to see Santa, or leave them at home to catch a late-night show. We'll keep adding to the list as new events crop up, so checking back frequently for updates.

Christmas Nightmare at the Massacre Haunted House: Did you miss your opportunity to go through a haunted house in October? This Montgomery haunt is giving you a second chance with its Christmas-themed adventure. The best part? No waiting outside. Events are limited to Dec. 22 and 23 from 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. at 299 Montgomery Road in Montgomery. General admission is $25. For $10 more, you can get in sooner with a fast-pass. There's even a "buy three, get one free" deal. Massacre was awarded "Scariest In Illinois" in 2014 by the Chicago Tribune and 2014/2015 by Haunted Illinois.
