SEAN BARRON
YOUNGSTOWN A surprised look crossed Isaiah Brown’s face when he received an early-morning knock, then answered the door to his East Side apartment and saw two famous figures standing on the other side.
“It makes you feel the Christmas spirit is still there, and it gives you hope for a lot of things,” Brown said.
He was referring to having been taken aback by seeing Santa and Mrs. Claus’ appearance in the apartment complex’s hallway. Both were on hand to deliver a bag of toys and other gifts to Brown and his children as well as leave them with an early taste of holiday cheer.
