OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
REMEMBERING SANTA I recently watched the 1994 version of the Christmas movie "Miracle on 34th Street", which many of you have probably viewed, or at least seen the original 1947 version. The movie focuses on a man that truly believes he is Kris Kringle.

Santa Claus came to town early to double-check his nice and naughty list, and brought along the Grinch for good measure.
MINNEOTA MEMORY
Santa Claus is flanked by two of his admirers, Sandy Locy, left, and Roger Locy when he visited City Hall in Minneota on Dec. 17, 1950. The Locy children delivered nearly 100 letters from public school children to Santa.
Bethel Fellowship Church in Minneota served Thanksgiving dinner to over 100 people on Nov. 27. Pastor Tom Nomeland and the church members have been serving the meal for several years.
