(Dec. 1, 2016) Santa Claus is apparently a big fan of Berlin.
“He loves it here. He says Berlin is a cool place,” Administrative Assistant Sharon Timmons said. “He says the kids are a lot of fun and they enjoy themselves, and they’re really good here for some reason. They’re especially good kids because they don’t get in a lot of trouble and they obey their parents.”
Timmons is helping Santa deliver letters to Berlin children through a free program based in the visitor’s center on Main Street. Each year, she works closely with him to spread Christmas magic.
“Santa’s pretty cool. He wants to make all the kids happy,” she said. “He is a jolly old man and he’s always laughing. He gives Mrs. Claus a hard time because she has to cook a lot to keep him fat and happy.
“Santa likes to tell jokes and he has a lot of fun,” Timmons added. “He treats the elves when they’ve been good – they have a big party after Christmas is over. I get to meet him and he’s very nice to me.”
To have a letter sent to a child, stop by the Berlin Visitor’s Center on 14 South Main Street during business hours, generally 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and fill out a short form with your child’s name and a return address. The program runs through Dec. 20.
Santa will send each child a personalized return letter, along with a coupon for a “special treat” from a local business.
He will also make a special appearance at the visitor’s center on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“You can tell him all your Christmas wishes,” Timmons said. “And don’t forget to bring a camera so you can get a picture of it!”
