Little Clara Bojdova shyly walked up to the infamous man in the red suit. What little bit of nerves she might have felt before, were washed away as soon as he picked her up, sat her in his lap and asked that question every kids can't wait to answer:
"What do you want for Christmas?"
Dozens of Ormond Beach children crowded around the gazebo on The Casements front lawn to pay a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Claus. With The Moonlighters Orchestra providing the perfect Christmas music, it made for an evening full of holiday spirit.
