Santa's Arrival in Woodstock

A little before 6 p.m. on Chrismas Eve, a wagon of musical elves drew up at Woodstock's Village Green, pulled by a bright red tractor.

Next to arrive was a sleigh drawn by several energetic reindeer, one of whom had a twinkling red nose. But Santa was not in the sleigh. Where could he be?

After an anxious wait on the part of the large crowd gathered at the Green, Santa finally appeared on the rooftop above One Tinker Street in Woodstock. Welcoming cheers burst forth to greet him.

We hope that you're enjoying the holidays, whereever you are. Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. Like Santa, come visit us soon in Woodstock!
