Dear Randolph Electric Member-Owners,

As I write this letter to you, Santa is getting ready to deliver presents to the homes of the many good boys and girls who live in the Randolph Electric service territory. I am so proud of them because they have been good all year.

There are so many children on Santa’s Nice List that he will have his work cut out for him in the REMC area! Santa and his reindeer are planning numerous stops and will have to work quickly to complete all deliveries before Christmas morning dawns.

That’s why I wanted to put a special word in the ears of all those who take care of the very good children of Randolph Electric.

I have learned that our friends at REMC are offering a security light promotion now through the end of this year. Outdoor security lights are very near and dear to my heart. With security lights, Santa and his precious reindeer have a much easier time finding rooftops and delivering gifts.

Now, Santa doesn’t like me to share this information, so we will have to keep this just between us. But I need to tell you that in years past, after Santa has delivered all his gifts and returned to the North Pole, he and his reindeer are somewhat worse for the wear. I have noticed several sprains, strains and bruises, not to mention the beat-up condition of the sleigh.

How do these injuries occur? Well, Santa doesn’t want you to know, but on occasion, he sprains his ankle because he can’t see so well when he is walking on those rooftops. Last year, Rudolph led the whole team to a barn, and Comet slid down the metal roof!

What would help Santa and our sweet little reindeer so much is an outdoor security light. And my friends at Randolph Electric have told me that from now until the end of the year, members who have new connections installed can receive the first three months of their security light bills free of charge! Now, that’s a special Christmas bonus that benefits everyone.

Outdoor security lights are an excellent way to make your place a lot safer for your family, your friends and your annual visitors from the North Pole.

And you can get them in the standard streetlight model or a more old-timey model, the Traditionaire. Now I won’t tell you how old I am, but I will tell you that I tend to like antiques, so we installed Traditionaire models all over the North Pole. This has allowed our elves to host reindeer games well into the night. I am so thankful that these lighting choices allow our hard-working teams to have fun after a long day of making toys and training for Christmas Eve.

Be sure to look at these models on the REMC website. Then go by the office or call REMC and schedule your security light installation as soon as possible. Remember you can still connect a new light in the new year, but the promotion for three months free ends Dec. 31.

Thank you for caring about Santa Claus and our fleet-footed little reindeer.

Merry Christmas!

Mrs. Santa Claus
