Santa makes an early visit to South Irving Street

Santa Claus dropped by unexpectedly at a home on South Irving Street on Thursday afternoon where 1-year old Declan and his 5-year old sister Delia were having a Thanksgiving meal with their grandparents.
Declan was a slightly unnerved by the surprise visit and kept his distance, but Delia sat right down near Santa, and had a nice 15 minute conversation with the fat man from the North Pole.
Santa did not arrive empty handed; Declan was the recipient of a toy vacuum cleaner, and Delia found a Play Doh kit when she unwrapped her present.
Mr. Claus arrived in a bright red SUV, which he told Delia he uses on every day of the year except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and was gone in a flash 15 minutes after his arrival.
As he waved goodbye to Declan and Delia, Santa did reveal that retired Ridgewood Police Department Captain and former Ridgewood Mayor Keith D. Killion was the person who wrote the North Pole and requested Santa make an early visit to South Irving Street.
Thank you Keith!
