(rousing music)

00:06.170 --> 00:07.270
- [Anthony] Goodfellow Air Force Base

00:07.270 --> 00:09.300
may not experience a white Christmas,

00:09.300 --> 00:10.720
but that isn't stopping the community

00:10.720 --> 00:13.717
from getting together to
celebrate the holidays.

00:13.717 --> 00:15.840
Goodfellow's festivities
include a cookie decorating

00:15.840 --> 00:17.500
and a writing letters to Santa.

00:17.500 --> 00:19.410
But hundreds of competitors showed up

00:19.410 --> 00:20.490
for the Jingle Bell Run.

00:20.490 --> 00:23.540
- I had a long day of
class, so getting to get out

00:23.540 --> 00:25.400
and run with everyone, have a fun time,

00:25.400 --> 00:26.700
it was really refreshing.

00:26.700 --> 00:28.450
- [Anthony] After the
Jingle Bell Run finished,

00:28.450 --> 00:31.560
kids and adults alike were
visited by the big man himself,

00:31.560 --> 00:33.470
Jolly Old St. Nick.

00:33.470 --> 00:35.320
The celebration reached its zenith

00:35.320 --> 00:37.170
when the 25 foot Christmas tree was lit

00:37.170 --> 00:39.360
for the first time this year.
