by Delaney, age 9 from Annapolis, Maryland, asks Santa where to stream the classic special, the Chesapeake Bay, and the city’s brief stint as US capital.
Dear Santa, my name is Delaney, and I am nine years old. I live in Annapolis, Maryland, where my dad says our whole city briefly served as the capital of the entire country a long, long time ago.
Dear Delaney, a city that once held that much responsibility deserves a very respectful flyover, your dad picked a truly historic hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Is The Year Without a Santa Claus on Hulu? My mom wanted to watch it with me tonight but was not sure where to find it.
Streaming availability changes quite often, Delaney, so your best bet is checking your favorite streaming service directly before settling in. Wherever you find it, that classic special is always worth the search.
My dad says Annapolis sits right along the Chesapeake Bay. Is that true?
It is true, Delaney, Annapolis sits along the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the entire United States. I always enjoy that wide, glimmering water on my way to your rooftop.
My dad says Annapolis was actually the capital of the whole United States for a short time. Is that true?
It is true, Delaney, Annapolis briefly served as the nation’s capital from 1783 to 1784, right after the Revolutionary War. That kind of important, if brief, responsibility is a rather special piece of history for such a small city to hold.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Delaney Fitzgerald
Annapolis, Maryland
P.S. Will you and Mrs. Claus watch it together tonight too?
We certainly will, Delaney, it is one of our favorite annual traditions.
