a hard time park and i got here early yeah i've never seen so many people and i've been doing this for seven years so is it i want to thank you because it's the belmont that isn't harold that puts a lot of this stuff on they do that they did the telethon the last two years at the belmont media center thank you belmont media center for filming us every year because people forget or homer do it all our own stuff and we forget about those other people and i need you to remember that remember to give your in the holiday season right that's what it's really about it is it makes me feel good makes me work harder to know that what i work for yeah i just wish it was on a friday instead of a school night so we could stay out later but did you try the fried dough hot chocolate candy canes yeah did you see the animals what's your favorite every night could be like she really yeah oh that's a shame as you should be out here without the you guys haven't find tolly alex did you see the pats yes the farm animals me well they're so he'll you're going to want to get in  aaron and what are we all do in here what's your name i had a bad time yeah yeah you don't need that ma guides wow this is a lot of food holy smokes so if you didn't get a chance to donate one thoughts ok because we know you all have a checkbook or a wallet and we love it it's actually easier because the stuff is kind of heavy to carry we want to make sure everybody is eating this season but this isn't the end of it all year round but this is a tough time for a lot of folks so also if you have toys that you're willing to donate those go to the belmont police department they're collecting for kids that might not otherwise get something also think of your neighbors right you know that person that lives on the street or around the corner that may not have anyone to eat a meal with invite them over you know you're always throwing food away when you're done belmont lighting ceremony for the last five years and every year mike sits behind the camera and does all the video and runs through you have no idea what the apparatus is the air that he has that out mike thank you so much for coming in this one of our favorite events of the year visitation for years now so yes so if you're just watching for the first time this year we want you know you go to the belmont media center website and watch the last four years water to watch the kids grow up mike all right thank you so much
