by Bodhi, age 8 from Santa Claus, Indiana, asks Santa about Holiday World’s weather, the nearby Ohio River, and the town’s year-round Christmas spirit.
Dear Santa, my name is Bodhi, and I am eight years old. I live in Santa Claus, Indiana, where my mom says Holiday World gets busy with visitors from all over during the warmer months.
Dear Bodhi, a town that welcomes visitors so warmly deserves a very cheerful flyover, your mom picked a truly popular hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
What’s the weather at Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana? My cousin wants to plan a summer trip and asked me to find out.
I cannot give an exact forecast for any particular day, Bodhi, weather changes far too quickly for even me to track precisely. Your cousin’s best bet is checking closer to the actual travel date for the most accurate details.
My mom says our town is in southern Indiana, not too far from the Ohio River. Is that true?
It is true, Bodhi, Santa Claus sits in southern Indiana, not far from the winding Ohio River. I always enjoy that gentle, rolling landscape flying in to visit you.
My mom says our whole town’s identity is built around Christmas, all year long, not just in December. Is that true?
It is true, Bodhi, your town has built its entire identity and community spirit around Christmas, three hundred and sixty five days a year. That kind of dedication to spreading joy is really something worth admiring.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Bodhi Kessler
Santa Claus, Indiana
P.S. Will you tell my cousin to check the forecast closer to summer?
Wise advice, Bodhi, weather rarely commits to plans this far ahead.
