Santa never forgets

THEN AND NOW: Pictured to the left is Addison Dorian at the age of 3 meeting Santa Claus in Garden City Center. The look on her eyes was that of awe. Pictured to the right is Addison, now age 9, who visited with Santa Claus this past Saturday and was shocked that Santa remembered her by name. Her belief is now stronger than ever.

Six years ago, Addison Dorian met Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus when they appeared in the Garden City Center. She was 3 years old at the time.

Flash forward to this past weekend when Santa and his crew again ushered in the holiday season in Garden City and Addison, now age 9 and a third grade student, went to visit them once again.

Much to Addison’s joy Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus remembered her from six years ago by name. The magic returned to this young girl’s eyes. To her delight, Addison was able to spend some time with Santa and joined him on the horse drawn hayride as he made his grand entrance into Garden City Center.

Yes, Addison Dorian, there is a Santa Claus.
