Editor, Gazette-Journal:

This is a story about Santa and a very special family who helped Santa give a special family in Ohio a special Christmas. Because of what they did for Santa, Santa will always remember.

Even Santa needs a little help at Christmas time. Please go by and say thanks to the wonderful family at the UPS store in Gloucester, folks who help a lot of people at Christmas and all through the year.

Also, to Newington Baptist Church and Rev. Mike Gray, who helped a little girl who will have a wonderful Christmas because of people who care about each other all throughout the year.

And a story about a man who is Santa, for all the work he does year round. Yes, Alexis there is a Santa who works in different ways all through the year.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night in Gloucester. Love and thanks to all who helped and those who helped Santa at Christmas time.

Ned "Santa" Hedrick
