December 2023 Archives

Last week, Santa stopped by KTUL's studios on Lookout Mountain to read the poem, "A Visit from Saint Nicholas," by Clement Moore, famous for its first lines:

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Santa's visit aired on the Friday, December 22, 2023, edition of KTUL's Living Oklahoma, introduced by Joie Bettenhausen. The video is available on KTUL's website.

And with that, Santa sends his wishes: "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" Wishing you all a blessed Christmastide and a happy and prosperous 2024.

Last week, Santa Claus visited Saint Francis's Children's Hospital to be part of the annual Christmas party for the young patients there. Reporter Alex Cash covered the party for Fox 23 and spoke to Santa:

Officials at Saint Francis Children's Hospital say there are over a hundred children in the hospital at the moment.

Santa told FOX23 why the party is extra special for him.

"All these children have had many many problems and today is the time they can celebrate," Santa said.

"It's an exciting time for them and they miss being a kid and this is a chance they get to be kids," Santa said.
