Winter Garden's Annual SANTA OF TERROR
Santa Claus is terrorizing us again.
It's not Santa so much, it's that he comes with a fire truck and two cop cars all blasting their sirens and honking their horns at startled cars and bicyclists. Plus, his sleigh smokes, which sends everyone out assuming it's a fire only to be greeted by smoke, sirens and Jingle Bell Rock.
We waved. He ho ho hoed.
The next door kids were delighted. I'm off to get a drink, since I'm going to be hearing these sirens for several more minutes. (Santa terrorizes VERY SLOWLY.)

A year or two ago, at around school release time, there was a sudden VERY LOUD SIREN, and an ambulance drove out of the school grounds, full lights and sirens, and off into the distance. Immediate panic attack - because I know that full lights and sirens only go on for the most dire of circumstances; even with heart attacks and such, the ambos use lights and only give a short burst of siren when they need people to get out of the way. Who was deathly ill or injured? A teacher? A student? My son?
Turns out, no - they had just had an educational ambulance incursion, and the ambos had decided to drive off with FLaS blaring as some sort of display. ARGH.
