Well, it looks like it won’t be just the Grinch who will try to steal Christmas this year in Ponce Inlet. It seems that the dreaded virus is doing all it can to keep Santa away. But Santa, thank goodness, is not giving up that easily. While he can’t be in the Christmas Parade or at the Children’s Christmas Party because both of those events have been cancelled, and while he couldn’t attend the December 4th tree lighting ceremony, which took place virtually because of COVID-19 restrictions, he will still be seen doing his annual Santa Run, going around Town (on December 19th, from 5:30pm through 8:30pm), while sitting in his sleigh which will be pulled by our fire truck. And even though he may be a masked man during the run in compliance with State and Federal guidelines, he’ll still be here and you will have no trouble recognizing him as he rides past, waving a Christmas hello to everyone.

Let PICCI “Wrap It Up” For Christmas
A new service to help you with Christmas preparations is to be offered at the Community Center where they will wrap up your boxed gifts. Just bring your presents to be and their volunteers will do all the rest. This service will be offered on three consecutive Wednesdays, Dec. 2, 9, & 16, in the morning between 9 a.m. to noon and in the evening from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and on three consecutive Sunday afternoons, Dec. 6, 13, & 20, between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. The gift wrapping is free, however, donations to the Community Center will be appreciated.
Since this service is offered as a fundraiser for the Community Center, whose income potential has been adversely affected by COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings and events, donations of holiday wrapping materials, holiday gift wrap, bags, tissue paper, gift tags, ribbons, clothing boxes, tape, etc. to be used for their “Wrap It Up” program will be greatly appreciated. You may drop off wrapping supplies (or even a check contribution) directly into the Community Center office Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 12 noon. Wrapping supplies (sans a check contribution) may be dropped off at any time in the donation box on the south side of the building. If you have any questions, please contact the Community Center at (386) 760-0615 or email Nicole Carr at nic2bfit@yahoo.com.
Please note that COVID-19 distancing will be observed. Click here to read the flyer.
