Original Toronto Star caption: Santa Claus came to town this morning; bringing happiness to thousands of Metro children. Baby Serena Muise of Ward St. was one of the luckiest kids - she got a kiss and a cuddle from Santa himself. The man with the twinkliest eyes in town then mounted his sleigh and led his parade of clowns; storybook characters and bands to Eaton's main store on Queen St. Hello my little ones. What a lovely; lovely welcome back to Toronto; Santa shouted to the cheering kids.
