Last Saturday, Santa and Mrs. Claus stopped by the Alabaster Post Office.
His good friends, a generous group of folks called The Magic Town Clown Alley, were also there to greet the Clauses and to make and do special things for the children of all ages who arrived to sit on Santa's knee.
Montgomery Secretary, balloon master extraordinaire, and regular Postmarks contributor Ziann Goree (aka Q.T. Pie the Clown) was kind enough to share these pictures and tell us all about the fun-filled festivities.
From Ziann:
On Saturday, December 10, 2011, Santa and Mrs. Claus visited the Alabaster Post Office from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.
Kids and adults came to take pictures with
Santa and ask for all sorts of things for Christmas.
There were cookies for everyone to enjoy as
they mailed their Christmas boxes. Mike Renda, the Postmaster, gave the kids Chick-Fil-A stuffed cows and free kids' meals.
Everyone got a special treat from the Magic Town Clown Alley, who provided face painting and balloons.
Pat Turner was there to help. She also happens to be another one of Ziann's sisters (can't you tell?).
Elf Tootle Lou (Gloria Glenn, Magic
Town Clown Alley) prepping to paint an excited young customer.
Young customer Donavan Maddox was a little shy about telling Santa what he wanted,
and didn't look much happier after he had been transformed into an elf. Or is he a reindeer?
Santa telling Ziann Goree that she has been a very good girl this year. Postmarks hopes that she gets everything she asked for and then some: she is always the first person to offer help and good cheer and certainly deserves to find a pile of presents under her tree come Christmas morning.
