We’re lucky that our “village” is on Santa’s route each year and I’m luckier still because my street is his major thoroughfare. This year’s volunteer Santa was generously provided by Firehouse #1. (I say generously because they are sacrificing a fire truck to bring joy to our neighborhoods - meaning one less “on call”.)

I was so happy to find a fire hydrant outline stickers in my stash. I swear, if companies stop making outline stickers, I think I’ll go into a panic.
