Letter: Thank you for a wonderful Christmas celebration

To the editor:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We can’t thank Dave Scarpino and the Christmas Festival Committee enough for the spectacular celebration this year.

The Christmas Snow Ball was such an amazing event, the Grand Illumination was magical and the Christmas Market was a two-day extravaganza to be proud of.

Once again, Bristol out did itself thanks to the hard-working Christmas Festival Committee. Their year-long planning certainly turned into an extraordinary experience for many of us. As Bristolians, we have so much to be proud of, and we are so grateful to have been a part of the excitement.

Thank you also to Michael Rielly and the James D. Rielly Foundation for bringing the Santa House to life. Children as well as adults have enjoyed this magnificent and unique attraction.

We wish all of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Healthy New Year!
