Soon the video takes viewers to a close up of a Christmas tree, red poinsettias and closes with a reflection of the main church window on the Christ child.
It's a week-long kid's shopping spree at Beatitudes.
The Dec. 4 children's shopping event at Beatitudes, 210 N. Main St., format has changed for covid-19 safety precautions, according to Deb Curlis, store manager.
This is a free opportunity for children to choose nice gifts for family members.
Instead of the originally-planned one-night event, Curlis says that parents may bring their youngsters to the store anytime Tuesday through Friday, Dec. 8-11, for kid's shopping.
Store hours are noon to 5 p.m. A treat bag will be given to each child shopping. For more information call Curlis at 419-788-9459.
