Who says Santa wants reindeer to ship Christmas presents?
Jolly Old St. Nick made an early go to to South Boston and introduced three-dozen kids there with toys. And he did all of it by water taxi!
The good ship Alice stood in for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on Friday when it pulled as much as the St. Regis Residences in South Boston’s Seaport District Friday to carry slightly early Christmas cheer to the kids of the South Boston Neighborhood House — extra generally referred to as “The Ollie.”
The 122-year-old Southie establishment says it’s serving to greater than 430 households to offer them with over 1,200 vacation presents for youths this 12 months, which it mentioned Thursday was the “highest demand for The Ollie’s help over the years!”
At round 11 a.m., the kids had been delighted with presents, scorching chocolate and cookies, vacation video games and collaborating in a collection of Christmas carols.
But Santa wasn’t the one well-known presence there for the event. Blades from Boston Bruins, marketed as “the beary tall and beary heavy, enthusiastic and energetic friendly bear who is passionate about spreading his love for Bruins hockey with everyone” was there to carry much more enjoyable and to ship a particular vacation message from Bruins left winger James van Riemsdyk, a resident at St. Regis Residences.
