is a very lucky thing, and I think the citizens
know that, too.”
When asked if he had any parting words,
Claus gave the Herald this iconic phrase:
“Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas to all, and to
all a good night!” •
loves the treats that El Segundo families make
at home for him. “If you love it, I will love it.
My taste in snacks is very wide-ranging,” he
explains. Claus likes to eat what kids eat in

from Santa Claus this year? Along with the
usual wrapped gift and Christmas morning

peace, healing, and calmness wherever he
can, but he needs your help. This Christmas,
he asks that you take a deep breath, wish with
all your heart for good things, and hug your
family members.
“When I retire, I’d love to get a home in El
Segundo,” he says, adding that if he did, he
