In the little village of Sheldon, Illinois, every year the mayor and village board, and Mr.Liebenow (who owned the big garage at the end of Main Street.) They would invite Santa Claus to come. Of course, all the kids in town were there. I still picture Santa arriving in a horse drawn sleigh. They drove it right into the garage where all the children were waiting in antiscipation. We were out of the cold. Santa and his helpers passed out stockings of candy,apples, oranges, and nuts. What a delight for all the children. We would sit on Santa's lap and tell him what we wanted for Christmas. We usually received a coloring book and crayons too, and then we would walk around the corner to the movie theater where we were treated to a free Christmas Movie. Oh, What wonderful memories. Thanks for letting us bring them alive again. - Joan Sweeney from Sheldon, IL
