Fireman Santa!

Last night the coolest thing happened: Daryl and I were watching Planet Earth and he heard a strange noise that sounded like a muted siren. We paused the show and the noise wasn't coming from the TV. He looked out the window and said 'fire truck'. Then he opened the back door and said 'it has Christmas lights on it'. Then he said 'It's Santa'. We ran out the front door and soon enough the fire truck and an ambulance rounded the corner. There were a few firemen walking and the truck was all decorated with lights playing Christmas music. One of the guys was dressed as Santa passing out candy canes and another fireman took a picture. Apparently they do this every year and they hit every neighborhood in their district. They sound the siren as they slowly drive the streets so the people know to come out.

It was SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) I love living here!

I didn't have time to grab the camera - but a neighbor did. He'll email me the picture if turns out.

Now the funny part of the story: After we talked to the guys for a few minutes, we decided to go say hi to a neighbor still outside. The fire truck slowly started moving and I trip on the driveway – down I go… (I could almost hear ‘tiiimmmmmmberrrrrrrrrrr). The fireman driving the truck asks if I’m ok. I very sheepishly say yes and away they go.
