John Alan Roderick is for sure everybody’s favorite Santa here in The Ville!

From Little League coaching to special community events, John’s participation is always there year round with a smile on his face and with or without his white Santa beard.

In a posting John states:
“Every adult should be Santa Claus at least once in their lives to see Christmas through the eyes of s little kid again. Nothing better! My favorites are the “doubters”. There’s always one or two kids trying to “out” Santa in front of the younger kids. I laugh the whole time–actually laughed until I cried.”

John The Somerville News Weekly salutes you and so doesn’t the good people of the City of Somerville!

Congratulations!
