Santa Claus hears some last-minute Christmas wishes on Monday afternoon at Prince Kuhio Plaza in Hilo. He said afterward he was in a big rush, as he had to fly back to the North Pole to pick up all the toys for good little girls and boys. He added that if any keiki would like to do Rudolph and the other reindeer a favor, they always enjoy a nice bowl of water to cool off after the long and tiring flight to Hawaii.
