Falls Village candlelight caroling

FALLS VILLAGE — Over 60 people, many of them of the young persuasion, piled into the town Green as dusk fell Saturday, Dec. 17.

They came to sing Christmas songs, watch as the tree lighting, and to perhaps have a quick word with Santa Claus.

Santa arrived courtesy of the Falls Village Volunteer Fire Department, in a decorated fire truck.

Showing no signs of the long trip from the North Pole, Santa greeted the crowd with “Who’s on the good list?”

As Santa made his way toward the Senior Center, Tracy Abbott surveyed the scene, particularly the robust crowd, with satisfaction.

“Falls Village is happening!”
