The city of Torrance does a really cool thing each year at Christmas. They bring Santa around the neighborhoods and the kids get to sit with him. A police car comes around a few minutes before Santa and plays really loud Christmas music and flashes its lights to let everyone know Santa is coming. A few minutes later Santa pulls up in his sleigh with Christmas music blaring and a bunch of middle schoolers passing out Candy canes. Everyone who wants to (or will) gets to go up and see Santa. It is so much fun to bundle up, cause it actually was in the 40's, and hear the music and feel the Christmas cheer! Jillian was fine going up, Carter didn't want to. I took him and when Santa gave him a candy cane he yelled "No Thank You"! Cousin Tennyson wasn't getting anywhere near that guy!
It seems like something you would see in a small town but they have been doing it for 30+ years now. There are a lot fewer children now than there used to be. We were the only ones on our street.
