Santa Claus riding on a fire truck

[Gothic Sponge]

Is it just a Long Island thing, or does your fire dept ride around town with a guy dressed as Santa? They do it every year here.

1. They used to do that where I used to live,

in a suburb of Cleveland, OH. But Santa kept getting tanked to "keep warm," so they ended it years ago.

2. Santa came to town on a firetruck and my 3 yr old gs was ga-ga.

I'm in small town Texas.

3. It's been done every place I've lived so far.

Combines Santa with that little kid rush to see a firetruck with all it's lights and sirens ablaze.

It's admittedly a bit of a ??? combination with me, but I like it regardless.

4. He came in on the train here!

He came in on Monday evening's 'City of New Orleans'--- and THEN he rode the firetruck through town.

6. Seems to be a suburban thing...

...if you've got a volunteer fire dept., then you've got Santa on a Fire Truck.

Never saw it in NYC...only since I moved to NJ small town.

7. Ft Worth Modern Art Museum floats him into the museum across

the museum's reflecting pool.

It is pretty cool, actually
