Santa Claus and his elf are back again to remind the Village what the spirit of the season is all about.

The North Pole has guaranteed a special visit from Santa Claus himself and his traveling elf for the Village of Marble Cliff’s annual holiday party!

This tradition will continue again, as it has for the past 25 years, on Monday, Dec. 3 from 6-8 p.m. at Our Lady of Victory Parish Center. We were secretly told that Santa looks forward to this gathering each year. He especially looks forward to the sugar cookies from Steven’s Catering every year.

How wonderful that so many families have literally grown up with this Santa and his elf, and that the festivities remain a holiday memory in both their hearts and in their homes, graced with these special Santa photos forever. Santa and his elf never seem to age!

“The kids seem to believe longer,” says Sheri Waterhouse, a close associate to Santa. “The children see the same faces, year after year, and believe!”

What a wonderful reminder as we continue this tradition of Santa Claus and his elf to believe, if only for a little while longer.

'Tis the Time in the Village

’Tis the time in the Village, and all through the Hall,
The workers were scurrying to reserve Victory Hall.

For an upcoming event, the first Monday in December,
the annual Village Christmas party, an event to remember.

The poinsettias were ordered, a gift of good cheer,
To each and every resident year after year.

The horse drawn carriage, a new magical ride,
Gives a look of the Village with friends by our side.

A call was soon made to the North Pole itself,
To guarantee the arrival of Santa and his elf.

As he had promised, for the past 25 years,
Bringing his elf, and a group of wonderful volunteers.

He knows all the families, both old and both new,
And looks forward to talking, and a cookie or two.

The same eyes that twinkle, and belly abound,
All believe in the miracle of this Santa we’ve found.

He’s watched the children, as they continued to grow,
And now bring their children to the man with a beard of snow.

Mayor Studebaker and six council members dear,
Continue to think forward to the upcoming year,

And wishing you all a Holiday merry and bright,
And thank you for gathering on this neighborhood night!
