Thursday, December 24, 2020 - 5:58 am To the Editor: Christmas is almost here and I couldn't be happier; it's my favorite time of year! We're busy at the North Pole getting everything ready for our BIG trip. Stopping in the North Country to visit all the children there is the best part! It won't be long 'til we're loading up the sleigh and setting off on our journey. Mrs. Claus and I wanted to thank the elves at Ogdensburg City Hall for watching over our mailbox yet again this year. We received nearly 400 letters from across the North Country! While I have done my very best to make sure each child received a response before Christmas, the mail this year might be a little slower than in times past. Please be patient and know that I have received your list and as always, I am still making my list and checking it twice.
