This was sent to Christopher this morning from Tracy T.
“Good morning! I just wanted to send you a quick report from the ground at the Light Up Downtown Canton event last evening.
We all braved the very chilly weather, and eventually bone-chilling rain to enjoy the festivities, but it was well worth the experience to be there for the show to see Christopher’s performance first hand, and to hear the comments of the children in the crowd throughout the evening! I brought friends, and among them was six-year old Lily who has Christopher in her home this year for the first time. As the children began to sing the Christopher theme song, and mentioned Christopher’s name, her face lit up and she loudly exclaimed, “Christopher Pop-in-Kins! He is at my house! He is at my house!” When she saw him arrive on stage, she excitedly began waving to him saying, “Christopher, Christopher, hi Christopher! Look, it’s Christopher! He is at my house!” The excitement generated by the incredible combination of both Christopher and the anticipation of Santa’s arrival was almost too much, and so it was throughout the entire show!”
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

A Short Trip Back In Time
Within the past week or so, we received a comment questioning the origin of Christopher Pop-In-Kins. Some of Christopher’s many fans wanted to help set the record straight about the Christmas elf’s beginnings.
One sent us this Canton Repository article from 1999 – read how Flora and Al created the children’s Christmas elf that families nationwide fell in love with.
And, another sent a Canton Repository article from 2003. Check it out and see how Christopher Pop-in-Kins and Rick Johnson have changed over the past five years.
