Full story: Lowell Sun

For as long as he can remember, John Kivlan counted on it. Like the winter when he was 8, rolling down Interstate 495 North in his dad's tan Volkswagen Rabbit.

Robin Bell Moran Portland, ME	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Dec 2, 2007 I worked for Mr. Codling right after I graduated High School. I am happy the town was able to help him get his Santa back up. I moved out of town 7 years ago, and still miss that Santa. I am glad to know I can still come home and see Santa, and Mr. Codling if you happen to see this Merry Christmas to you and your family. Rottenrobin@adelphia.net

Dave in Frisco TX Richardson, TX	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Dec 6, 2007 Hi Helen, Rich, and everyone in Chelmsford, What a great story... A Texas-size Santa in MA creating lifelong memories for so many! How great that everyone pitched in to resume the tradition. And thanks to the Lowell Sun for printing a feel-good story. Helen, take care of Rich. Rich, take care of Helen, be a good patient, and get that arm healed up. Talk to you soon, DFG
Rich Codling Chelmsford Bristol, CT	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Dec 6, 2007 I did not realize how much that "Big Santa" was appreciated by the Chelmsford people: but ten firefighter volunteers and six of my skiing buddies showed us all how important that good old CHRISTMAS SPIRIT was by erecting Santa during very cold high winds. Looks like he's a fixture from now on!
