When Patchie the Elf came to Woburn, he gave Local Patch Editor Danielle Masterson a note. It said something about how he was there to keep an eye on everyone, and he wanted his adventures to be published on Woburn Patch.

Naturally, Woburn Patch complied.

His travels were widely publicized on our Facebook page, but here—as a Christmas treat!—are all 24 Patchie the Elf photos from this holiday season.

For the last 24 days, we've watched Patchie travel all over town, visiting different places, and always keeping an eye on the residents. Every night, he went back to the North Pole and told Santa Claus what he found.

But last night, Patchie returned to the North Pole for the rest of the year! Before he left, he gave us another note:

Dear Woburn,

It has been super sweet hanging out with you this month. We sure had some fun, didn't we? The ice rink was totally cold, but the McDonald's PlayPlace was really warm. And I found a few kids and adults to keep an eye on there!

I'd love to come back next year. I'm going to ask Santa for the same assignment!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Love,

Patchie the Elf
