The first ever Story Time with Santa was held on Saturday, Dec. 8 at Sesser Public Library.
Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived at the library in style at 10:15 am with delivery by Sesser police with lights flashing and sirens blaring. They were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of approximately 100 children and adults. After greeting all with a hearty “Ho, ho, ho”, Santa and Mrs. Claus were escorted into the library.
Santa took his seat and began reading the amazing story “The Sparkle Box” to the children. Then Santa read “The Christmas Story”, and explained about the true meaning of Christmas. All the children were given time to sit on Santa’s lap, and were able to tell him what they wanted for Christmas and got their pictures taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus, too.
Afterwards, all ate cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels and hot chocolate. All children were given gift bags from the library.
Sesser Public Library wants to take this opportunity to thank all of you who attended and all of our volunteers who so graciously gave of their time and energy to help make this event such a rousing success.
Since this year’s event was so well received, we’ve already started planning our Second Annual Story Time with Santa for next year.
One thing we definitely know is that it will be held at a much larger venue! Wishing you and yours a very, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
