Description
Photograph caption dated December 22, 1987 partially reads, "Arriving for the first time in public relations history by rickshaw, Santa Claus had to cool it with the "on, Dancer, on, Prancer" stuff when he hit Chinatown in the person-drawn vehicle yesterday. He brought gifts including popcorn and candy for the Asian-American children at Castellare [sp] Elementary school. In return, the kids serenaded St. Nicholas with carols at a party organized by merchants on Gin Ling Way."
