Holiday Lives Even On Video

To the Editor:

I just viewed the 4C’s video of Santa and Mrs. Claus arriving at their cottage and lighting the Village’s Christmas tree.

Wow, what a wonderful video!

It was very creative and so well done. Congratulations to you and everyone else who planned and produced it. You can be very proud of it.

“Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!” I would encourage everyone to Google and read that famous editorial published in The New York Sun newspaper on Sept. 21, 1897, from which this saying was taken. We all need to believe in Santa Claus for hope after this awful year of COVID.

Merry Christmas to all!
