“It’s very important to me! It's a way of giving a little happiness for a moment to children so that they forget their illness or pathology. » On this Christmas Day 2024 and as for 30 years now, Santa Claus went to Beauvais hospital center to offer toys to hospitalized children on Wednesday December 25.

A moment always appreciated as much by the children as the families and the CHB staff on this Christmas morning… but also by Gérard Vivet, father “this” Christmas. Always alongside Mickey and Minnie, this Beauvaisian continues to have a rhythmic activity despite the closure of the “Buny” boutique on rue Pierre-Jacoby in the city center in 2021.

« As long as I can do it, I will! »

Gérard Vivet always wants to ensure that hospitalized children are not forgotten on Christmas Day. « As long as I can do it, I will! »he has already had the opportunity to tell us.

At 72 years old, the president of the Saint-Just-des-Marais and Saint-Quentin festival committee once again donned his red costume on December 25 to distribute the gifts offered by the CCAS… to which must be added those that he buys with his own means. Thank you Gerard!
