Santa enters the neighborhood

@jamesy: William says, "Thank you," Debbie.

@Linerberry: Thanks from the kiddo, Liners. I think it's a lovely tradition. The firefighters in our area are awesome.

@Dimitrios: Many thanks, Dimitrios, and happy holidays!

@grouser: Grousie, just wait till tomorrow's photo.
Santa has very young-looking hands and he's thin.
Methinks there's a buffish volunteer firefighter under that suit.
That means playing with hoses. Such fun.

@Lorraine: Didn't he do a great job? I had the kiddo come read comments; Grousie made him laugh. He says, "Thanks," Rainy. :)

@Pixim: Mon fils dit, "le Merci," Pixim. Nous apprécions cette tradition locale très beaucoup. Il est amusant et est unique. :)

@Richard_Irwin: I am so, so glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read your comment because I surely would have spit it out all over the keyboard. Thanks for the laugh!

@peter: Isn't that just the coolest ride, Peter? LOL
Thank you! Happy holidays to you and yours!!

@Judy: You know, I saw the firefighter symbol on your living room wall (behind the tree?) and forgot to comment on it. Very cool! I love firefighters (anyone in EMS, actually). They're my heroes. Your husband might be interested to know that I'm friends with the fellow who played Captain Stanley in Emergency!, many years ago.

@Fliss: Well, I hope so, too!!! I didn't hear any sirens and there's a city fire station not far from us (we're just past the county line, in volunteer territory) so that bodes well. :)
