DOES SANTA LIVE ON NORTH AVENUE?
A local newspaper posed this question in a article about the "CHRISTMAS HOUSE" in Forest Park
on December 20th 1979. The answer is yes.
For 20 years he greeted young and old from our living room window. When I say greeted, I mean he
literally waved. He is a mechanical Santa my father, Mack Embrey, bought from New York City.
Santa was the first of many Christmas decorations to eventually fill our yard through those years.
In 2002 I moved back to the family home only to discover that the decorations had not withstood
the test of time from years of storage in the damp basement. Let's call it a miracle, since I do
believe in miracles. High on a shelf, in a dark corner, sat a very large box. You guessed it...
the only survivor from the Christmas House... SANTA.
THIS IS GOING TO BE ABOUT OUR ADVENTURES ... TOGETHER... AGAIN.
