A few nights ago we were putting the kids to bed, reading books with them, when a loud fire truck with the siren on came down our street. The siren stopped and christmas music began! Immediately the kids flew downstairs and outside. The truck stopped at the top of our street and out jumped several fireman and Santa! He was passing out candy canes, big ones! With all the rucus every neighbor came outside to see what was going on, and suddenly the dark street was filled with kids! Santa and the fireman walked through the whole neighborhood with the fire truck and ambulance right behind them.
It took awhile to get the kids to wind down and get back in bed, and once they were finally in bed, we could then hear the siren blast everytime the truck entered a new neighborhood. I remember they did this last year too, but our kids were totally asleep when they came and they missed the whole thing. I'm glad they saw it this year.
