More than 40 years ago, someone who worked at Macy’s donated a Santa Claus suit to the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in West Orange.
Bob Gray tried it on, and it fit.
Gray, now 80, has been playing Santa every year since then, and he says he has no intention of stopping.
"It’s the joy of doing something like this," Gray said last Sunday, shortly after handing out presents to children at Holy Trinity, where Gray has been an active member for more than 60 years. "It’s the answers kids give you, the looks kids give you."
