Photos galore of Families, groups, individuals...children watched in awe from a distance and then slowly came forward to sit on Santa's knee. They asked Santa questions about what it was like living at the North Pole, what his reindeer were doing to get ready for the Christmas Eve, and how Mrs. Claus was. We could hear Santa talking on the radio and then he was off with a roar as he had to get back to the North Pole to finish off preparations for Christmas...Santa definitely wont forget children that got to know him at Lyncrest! We could faintly hear him say over the aircraft air-to-ground radio -"Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!"
