It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Santa came to the library on the 29th and we were all in a flurry of excitement! All of the librarians had their pictures made with Santa and made a few Christmas wishes.

He was marvelous - as always - and his beard was absolutely resplendent! Santa impressed all of the little ones (and some of the bigger ones) and even made his way over to the local Italian restaurant Giuseppe's after the library closed to mingle with some more locals.

The following day, the 55+ seniors group came in to do some serious holiday decorating. I'll post some pictures on Flickr in just a little bit. Check them out because it looks pretty great in here!

 And another thing: if you didn't already know, every Macy's store across the country contains a special North Pole post box that delivers Christmas letters straight to Santa Claus. And for every letter received, Macy's donates $1 to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. I'm hoping to make these letters available to the patrons of our library who were unable to come and see Santa on Thursday and make a run to Macy's to deliver their letters. But you can also go online and print out special Santa stationery to write your own letter and deposit it in the post box yourself. Go here to print your stationery and explore the story of "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause". Do it! Because it's a really good thing! And don't let being an adult deter you from sending a letter to Santa - just take a moment of your time and help out a great cause. Please and thank you!
