Khona-ke, kukhona izimoto ezibomvu neziluhlaza zeDodgem ezitshalane phakathi kweSanta's Village. I-Too blasé ukumangala ezimangalisweni zemvelo zendawo, izingane zikhetha ezikhangayo ezenziwe ngabantu ezifana namapaki wetimu ze-New Hampshire .
Emashumini eminyaka, iSonto leSanta liyingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu, okwamanje ebaluleke kakhulu eminikelweni yokushisa yezulu yendawo yesifundazwe.
Nakuba engekho endala njenge-Flume, isikhathi sibonakala sesivele simile epaki. Ngama-baby boomers abonakalayo, kunjengokuthi ama-movie wabo we-grainy asekhaya noma izithombe ezimnyama nezimhlophe ze-Brownie ziyavela lapho zibuyela endaweni leyo nezingane zabo.

Ngiphupha Ngentaba Emhlophe
I-legend iwukuthi uGainer noyise wakhe, uNormand Dubois, babeshayela nge-Route 2 eJefferson, eNew Hampshire lapho inselo iqhuma phambi kwemoto. Ulahlekile ngalesi silwane, u-Elaine oneminyaka emithathu wabuza uyise ukuthi ngabe lokho kwakungomunye wezilwane zikaSanta.
Njengengxenye ye-epiphany, uDubois, efuna ukuguqulwa komsebenzi, wathenga leli zwe futhi wavula iSanta's Village ngo-1952. Eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane kamuva, imindeni emisha ijabulise epaki likaKhisimusi.
Izingane ezineminyaka yonke zithanda uRudy's Rapid Transit, i-fast-too fast, kodwa hhayi-too-wimpy, i-roller coaster ene-red-nosed reindeer ehola isitimela sezimoto. Okunye ukugibela kuhlanganisa i-log ye-"Yule" evusa amadlingozi, ukugibela isitimela nge-gent efana ne-red-fit efana ne-engineer, ne-carousel enezintambo ezindizayo esikhundleni samahhashi.

Ukwamukelwa kanye namanani ngaphakathi kwepaki yokudla nezipho kulinganiselwe. "Sinikeza inani elihle ngempela," kusho uGainer. "Nakuba sinikeza izaphulelo eziphezulu, siyaqaphela ukuthi imindeni emisha, izilaleli zethu eziyinhloko, kudingeka ziphathwe ezikhethekile."
Ukubambisana kokuxhumana
Enye yezimpawu zeSanta's Village yizandla zayo-ekusebenzisaneni. "Imikhakha iyamnandi kodwa ayifuni," kusho uGainer. "Sifuna ukuba izingane zihileleke."
I-complex ye-Polar Theatre ihlanganisa i-Santa's Workshop. Lapha, izingane ziba ngabasizi bakaSanta. Bangakwazi ukuhlobisa imihlobiso yabo siqu noma ukuzenzela ama-T-shirts we-keepsake.

Ingabe isizukulwane se-smartphone sipholile kakhulu ukujabulela ipaki ebonakala ibanjwe ngawo-1950 futhi ihlonipha uSt. Nick? "Inkolelo-ze iyafa kanzima," kusho uGainer. Ngempela, nge-Bing Crosby ukukhanda njalo "uKhisimusi omhlophe" phakathi kwe-Currier ne-Ives ukubeka, ipaki ikhulisa i-nostalgia futhi ikhuluma nengane sonke. Izingane ezinanamuhla zinkimbinkimbi azikho kakhulu; basuke bematasa kakhulu benobhola futhi baxosha izinkumbulo zabo zaseSanta's Village.
