Every year Santa rides through the neighborhoods of Winter Garden on his big red sleigh (A red Firetruck)
He even gets a police escort. It's a pretty big deal. You are alerted to his arrival by flashing lights, sirens, and Christmas music. He usually visits each neighborhood on the same night every year so that you know when he's coming.
This year, I made the mistake of telling Collin that Santa would be making his grand entrance that night. Every time he heard a siren ( a legitimate siren that is,) he would yell, "That's Santa! He's coming!"
I had no idea there were that many police cars and ambulances that got called out around here.
Anyway, we ended up waiting outside for 20 min before his actual arrival because a certain little boy was just too worried he was going to miss him ;)
Santa finally came and I had two very excited little boys! Especially when they saw they were throwing candy.
I love my little town of Winter Garden! They are always doing so many fun things and this is one of my favorite Christmas traditions.
I also love the Christmas excitement overflowing from my boys. It's very contagious. I'm going to miss this once they start growing up and start loosing that Christmas magic. I guess we'll have to just keep having kids so that we never loose the magic ;)
(Just a joke Michael, just a joke)
