This is Sean with Santa from the FD in 2006. We'll miss this.
Since we moved here, it has been a fun part of the holidays
to hear the siren a few streets over and know Santa was on his way. We'd bundle up in our warmest clothes to stand outside,
for sometimes more than 30 mins. to wait. The fire truck
was first with the lights and siren, and the loud speaker announcement, "Santa is coming." We would watch as
the truck with Santa's sleigh rounded the corner at the
bottom of our hill, and made its way up the street over
from ours. Excitement would build and everyone would
be anxious for their turn to get on the sleigh and sit on
Santa's lap. In this photo, Sean wouldn't get on the sleigh,
so Santa came to him.

This time of year my mom would be really excited for this
event. In 2005 he didn't come to our street. We heard the
sirens the next street over, and never saw the fire truck or
the sleigh. Mom was pretty upset about the whole thing and
put in a call to the fire department to let them know a little
boy stood here in the cold for a long time waiting for a
Santa who never came. The next night he made a personal appearance on our porch with candy cane in hand and I
think he must have gone to each house on our street
wishing everyone a personal "Merry Christmas."
