Christmas in July

Ever wonder what Santa does the other 364 days of the year?  We found out first hand.

On our way home, my wife noticed a vintage car at the stop light a few yards away with a rather plump, white-bearded, rosy-cheeked fellow.  We joked about how he looked like St. Nick, but as we got closer to the cherry red automobile, we saw initials painted on the side, “S.C.”.  It was none other than the Spirit of Christmas himself, Santa Clause!





As was to be expected, Father Christmas drove an honest-to-goodness historical vehicle.  The car’s windshield even had snow flakes etched into the glass!



It seems as though Santa came down to the sunshine state for a little R&R, not to mention vitamin D.  What a change the scenery must be; going from bleak white tundra to palm trees and triple digits.  He and Mrs. Clause seemed to be enjoying their cruise while sporting shades and leaving the top down.

What a sight it was!



If only Aidan were old enough to enjoy the spectacle.

So long St. Nick, have a holly-jolly summer!
