Canton Santa Claus

Thursday, December 12, 2013

For the past 21 Christmases Santa and Mrs. Claus has made a stop at Ronald and Betty Page’s home in Canton. The couple has prepared for his arrival each year by transforming their two bedroom house into a winter wonderland. Wintery dolls, angels, model trains and nutcrackers adorn the inside as visitors, last year numbering over 12,000, stop to speak with Mrs. Claus. After making their way through the house, a path of Christmas lights lead a path to Santa’s workshop where the jolly man in red sits to visit and have photos taken with children who  tell him what they want for Christmas and read from lists that they give to Old Saint Nick. Unfortunately this may be the last year for the Page’s to host Santa as there are concerns for Betty’s health but the couple is still undecided as to next year.
