I LOVE Christmas!!!!

And I love my town! Every year they have this Santa parade that goes around the neighborhoods. They have a huge speaker on the front of Santa's fire truck blaring Christmas music and Santa and all his helpers hollering "Merry Christmas!" and "Happy Holidays!" They also blare every siren and horn they have as loud as they can over and over again to announce their presence and arrival. Last night they came by the shopping center where Steve and I had just had our first dinner out in months. Then today while I was cleaning I heard them in the neighborhood. I grabbed my camera and waited till they came by my house. It's the first year I've actually been able to get decent pictures! And it's the first warm day we've had in weeks. I'm enjoying it because it won't last long and neither will this awesome season. I just HAD to stop all my cleaning and share these pics!
First the fire truck escorts Santa's old fashioned truck...

Then Santa and all his helpers arrive in this cool truck designed to hold a bunch of people...



MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
