🎅✨ Exciting news from the North Pole! Our Home for the Holidays committee caught up with Santa himself as he was busy double-checking his list—and guess what? He has a very special message for all the kids in Newark, NY: You’re ALL on the nice list this year!🎄👏

Santa also wanted to remind everyone to head to bed early on Christmas Eve so he can make it to every house. He’s looking forward to seeing all the twinkling lights and festive cheer across our town! 🌟
