Social media in Bridgeport is often contentious, so much so that it resulted in the town having two Facebook Groups, one titled just “Bridgeport PA” and the other “Bridgeport PA (without the censorship)”.

But the contentiousness (mostly) disappeared over the past few days after a Jennifer Ann (Facebook handle) pointed out a statue of Santa sitting at the corner of 5th and Mill Streets (pictured above).

Social media in Bridgeport was quickly filled with selfies taken with the Santa statue. It appears it started with Carmella Salmon who posted the above photo and suggested people take selfies with Santa.

Numerous people and groups of people followed. See more selfies and photos with Santa below:
