OLD-FASHIONED, IT’S a WONDERFUL-LIFE-KIND-OF-NIGHT AT THE CORNER STORE TONIGHT (FRIDAY) OR YOU COULD CALL IT A MIRACLE ON 37TH STREET EVENING; SIP EGGNOG, LISTEN TO CAROLS, VISIT SANTA …and MAYBE THERE MIGHT EVEN BE A TAD OF PLEASINGLY PRETEND SNOW TO ICE UP THE ATMOSPHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight, pack up the kids and trot on over to the Corner Store so they can tell Santa what they want for Christmas, sip a bit of eggnog and listen to Christmas Carols. There might even be a bit of powdery stuff provided by snow machine.

No, it’s not real snow, said Corner Store Owner Peggy Lindquist, but it should help set the mood just the same.

Children will be given small gifts and a candy cane when they visit Santa and photos will be taken for a small donation toward Clean San Pedro, a non-profit that has organized to keep the community clean.

The way it works is like this:

Santa and his elf will be jingling at the Corner Store from 6 to 7 p.m., played by a Secret Santa.
Carolling and eggnog servings will start at 7 p.m. And then customers and staff will hit the streets to sing carols up and down 37th Street. The owner asks for you to bring a flashlight and jingle bells to whip up the spirit of the night and keep everyone safe.

The Corner Store is at 1118 W. 37th Street. For more information, call: 310-832-2424.
