Dear Santa and staff,

My name is Danette. I have been coming to Santa's village for almost 30 years. I started as a child and have come just about every year since then. Christmas is my very favorite time of year. It reminds me so much of the time I would spend with my Grandmother Chase during the holidays. My husband Jeff and I have 3 children, we started bringing them when they were about years 2 old. Our oldest daughter is 22, our youngest daughter is 12 and our son is 8. I will never forget the looks on their faces the first time they came to Santa's village and sat on Santa's lap. They didn't want to let go of him. We also have a 2 year old grandson that we will start bringing next year, to carry on the tradition. We Love your park. We prefer it over the big ones. Over the years we have seen alot of changes here and we have been impressed with all of them. As matter of fact we have loved all of them. We were especially impressed with the reindeer barn that was built last year and what you did with the antique car ride this year. THEY ARE AWESOME! We come every summer. My kids look forward to it as part of their summer vacation. We have not made it at Christmas time yet but we are going to try this year. Keep up the good work and Congrats on over 50 years of being open. We look forward to another 50 years to come. Santa's villagae is a major part of our family and always will be. Thank you for all you have done over the years and all you will do in the future. We will see you next summer!

Love,
Danette

Hi,

When I go to Santa's village every year, I always go on the logride first. It must be one of my favorites. Then we go down the right side of the park. After that, we get lunch thats right across from the bumper cars. Then I make my way down and go on the roller coaster. My dad and brother ride in the last seat, but I ride in the front. I love Santa's Village!

Dear Santa

I love Santa's Village so much! We went last weekend and I was so sad when we had to leave. I wear my ring that I got at the Reindeer Shoe Shop every day. I miss it there at Santa's Village, it is just so much fun there. When I was little we went every year in the summer, and then we started going every year in the winter. We stopped going for a few years because we didn't have enough money to keep our seasonal camp site so we could didn't go up to New Hampshire. My faveorite ride is the Yule Log Ride and I love to eat pizza from Nick's Pizza Emporium. I also like to make gingerbread people and sit in the cupcake seat and play the elfabet game. Well I really miss Santa's Village and can't wait to go next year!

Hi...

I recently put my family's 8mm movies onto DVD as a way to preserve them. While watching them I saw that I had been to Santa's Village in 1961 with my family. At the time I was just 1 year old. We have shots of the animals that roamed at the time as well as a few feisty little goats. We also have the family picture where we are all sitting under the big sign out front.

Over the past two decades we have brought our children and grandchildren to Santa's Village too, so that they could enjoy New England's little secret. And we have some of those same pictures with our children in them in place of my brothers and sisters.

While a lot of the world has changed it is nice to see that the tradition of Santa's Village is alive and well...

Thanks for the memories!!

Sincerely,

Hi!

I am from Berlin, NH and we were camping at the Lantern Inn one year. Myself, my fiance, his mother and his 2 aunts, whom are both handicap, mentally and physically, and my 10year old son at the time. We decided to enjoy ourselves for the day at your park, mostly for the 2 aunts as they so much enjoy anything to do with Santa and Christmas. Their faces were glowing the whole time we were there and the rest of us had a great time too. The aunts, Irene and Doris, loved playing the Elfabet game. We would find the next letter and I would get to punch their card for them and they would giggle again and again and say "thank you". When they got to pick out their gift at the end for the full card they were so excited it was great to see them smile and giggle. Not something that happens very often in their limited lives, but your park managed to do this for them, and it was great. I can't say thank enough for the happiness you managed to bring those 2 ladies that day and me and my fiance, son and soon to be mother-in-law. Thanks again, Rhonda, Jonathan, David, Olive, Irene and Doris.

May God Bless You Each and Every Day of Your Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,

Your Friend,

Santa,

I recently visited Santa's Village on Friday, July 13 with friends that have small children and were visiting the area. I haven't been there since my children were small, maybe 6 or 8 years ago. I was so impressed that I am going to start making it an annual trip wether I have small children with me or not. ALL of your staff were extremely helpful and cheerfull. And your grounds are incredible, very neat, clean, and tidy. Whoever does your flowers needs a big pat on the back. As an amateur gardener I was very impressed with the layout, variety, and condition of all the flowers, I know from experience that takes a lot of work, dedication, and love.

I just can't wait to visit next year.

Thank you,

Dear Santa,

My family and I came into your park back in 2001. I was pregnant with my 3rd child and my other children were 11,and 8. The second we entered the park my husband and I felt like we were kids again. We had such a blast we have been coming back every year since then. Now my baby is 4 and my other children are 16 and 13 we still have a great time. We have plans to come back on August 3 or 4 of this year. We live in Vermont and it's not that bad of a drive. The people that work there are so nice. The park is well kept up and very clean. I just want to say we love Santa's Village and for you all keep up the good work.

See you in August.
