The spirit of Christmas came alive at Melrose 1 Stop on Friday, November 29th, following a light dusting of snow. Santa Claus made a special appearance that delighted over 200 visitors. Transforming the Melrose 1 Stop wash bay into a warm and cozy wonderland, the event featured festive holiday decorations and photo opportunities with Santa. Adding to the magic, the Melrose princesses made an appearance, while Rahn’s elves, Jessica and Alyssa, helped spread holiday cheer and facilitate photos. Children were treated to Christ-centered chocolate coins and Jingle for Jesus bracelets, while the Melrose Stages carolers filled the air with beloved Christmas songs. The celebration extended beyond the shop when Santa made a personal visit to residents aboard the Tree of Life Assisted Living bus.
