We went to Bath this afternoon to see Santa arrive by fire truck. I knew Santa probably wouldn't be much of an attraction but I figured the fire truck would be very cool. There was caroling on the library green where there is a large gazebo.
As the choir (or whomever the group of people wearing santa hats were) started singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and we walked around the side of the gazebo. In those 30 seconds, we had already missed the event! The fire truck drove up into the parking lot as though it was a regular old chevy sedan, dropped off santa and drove off. I'm not sure Sawyer even saw it! He was one of the first to see Santa and it probably registered that he was dressed funny with a very white beard but not much more than that.
There was a parade of sorts down main street and everyone had jingle bells. Sawyer got to walk on the yellow centerline of the road and at the end, there were two police cars, complete with flashing lights, to block off traffic and instead of going inside to sit on santa's lap, we stood at the curb and looked at the police cars and watched the policeman. One opened the front door for Sawyer and for once in his life, he didn't ask to drive the car. Same policeman gave him a "trading card" with a picture and his contact information.
Not bad for a first attempt at xmas activities (both for us, and for Bath).
