I didn't know Santa was so loud

marinessSo the Little One and I were quietly minding our own business when the night filled with the sound of sirens.
This, in itself, is not so unusual - we live sorta near a road that is a direct route to a small hospital so ambulances go that way from time to time thrilling the local dogs who continually find this all very very exciting and would like more sirens yes yes yes BARK BARK BARK. But these were remarkably LOUD sirens, and given their supposedly emergency status, they seemed to be moving remarkably slowly. I looked out. A cop car, sirens on high, was creeping by - and I do mean creeping. I turned back to the cat. And then I heard the HO HO HO. I looked out again, to realize the cop car was followed by two fire trucks, another cop car and yes, Santa in a very lit up sleigh right in the middle howling HO HO HO.
What precisely Santa was doing here on a Monday night escorted by the cops I cannot tell you. Maybe he was being very naughty and Winter Garden decided to make An Example of him, and a Noisy One at that.
And there go more sirens, but more rapidly this time.
