Inflation. Skyrocketing gas prices. Work absences due to illness. Unexpected job loss. Christmas looks mighty bleak this year for lots of area families and Santa gets that. So do his helpers at the Kingfisher Community Collaborative and other local philanthropists who are making Santa’s Toyland possible again this year. Applications are being accepted now for qualifying families who want to make sure each of their children have nice gifts waiting for them under the tree on Christmas morning. They can be picked up and returned to Kingfisher City Hall or downloaded from the Community Collaborative Facebook page and must be submitted by Dec. 6.
