Mr. Kringle’s December Mingle

A very merry Tuesday to you!

It was also a very merry Tuesday at BrightStart Winter Garden with the arrival of Santa Claus!

Just seven days before his holiday ride across the globe, Santa dropped in to visit with patients and give gifts.

Early morning fog did not delay the super holiday spirit at Winter Garden, especially with the arrival of Mr. Kringle.

“Of course I visit the homes of these wonderful children on Christmas Eve,” Santa told us. “But that’s a busy night – especially if I’m trying to beat a weather system. I make time on a weekday to stop and remind these little ones how much they mean to me and their families.”

The Valencia Elves Union came through again to deliver four fresh new faces to the holiday party: Gabriela, Valeria, Stephanie and Samantha. We were so happy to have them as part of our celebration and let them get a dose of smiles from our terrific little patients.

BrightStart is also pulling back the curtain on some of our staff members with another wild ride in the Staff Time Machine™. The details of how it all works are too technical for this web post, but you’re in for a few surprises as you peer back through the mists of time.

Are you feeling the holiday vibe yet? Santa dropped a hint about heading south. Could it mean a stop at another BrightStart location? Click in tomorrow and find out! Meanwhile, stroll through Mr. Kringle’s Holiday Mingle in our latest photo gallery.
