They do this every year around here, but I can't remember ever seeing this in any other place. Does Santa "come to town" where you live (other than in parades)?

A Run-In with the Claus
I went for a walk around the neighborhood last night, and Santa was parading through on a fire engine, tossing candy to the kids lined up along the street sides. I say parading, but this wasn't an actual parade. It was about 8pm, and it was just a couple fire engines with police car escorts. I guess they must announce this on the radio and TV and in the newspapers, because these people all were expecting it and were out in force to see Santa. I was even the recipient of a candy-toss, but whatever it was they tossed to me slipped right through the sewer drain. They couldn't have done it that smoothly if they'd tried. Maybe that was Santa's way of telling me to keep my fluffy bum moving and that I don't need any candy. *sniff*

Not sure if that video will play for you. It's not loading for me. Santa came over and gave me a candy cane and an apple.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Your Santa is much better than ours. He rides in the top of the fire truck and just waves. No walking around for OUR Santa. It cracks me up that you had your camera ready. I keep remembering you hiding in the bushes to film the ice cream truck. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember them doing this in my neighborhood, but it feels like a familiar scene. Maybe I'm just schizophrenic. And aren't you only supposed to let water go down the gutter drain? Or maybe that's just in Santa Monica. Well, aren't I just full of maybes today.
ReplyDeleteNGIP, I'm sure you're SUPPOSED to only let water go down the drain. I know we have PSA's on TV about how to pick up after our pets and such to keep the contaminants out of the groundwater because it goes into the storm drains and then into the ocean. (I live at the beach.)
