Santa delivers again at the 9th Precinct’s annual holiday visit

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

Santa (Claus) made his annual visit with the 9th Precinct yesterday, setting up shop inside the Manhattan School for Career Development on Fourth Street.
There was a line of families waiting for a visit, but no shortage of holiday cheer — or toys. Kids 12 and under were greeted with tables full of gifts, with many leaving happily clutching more than one, thanks to the generous supply.
Members of the NYPD's auxiliary program helped distribute toys and refreshments and kept the event running smoothly.

Despite the wait, spirits stayed high, with plenty of smiles, photo ops and seasonal good vibes all around.

Check out some photos from the event...

    There are a few days left for #ToysForTots at the Woolworth Building (233 Broadway.) I was unaware they begin the toy drive in October every year, but seeing the decorations in the lobby is worth the price of admission. https://mommypoppins.com/new-york-city-kids/christmashanukkah/toys-for-tots-donate-toys-nyc
