• Santa arrived on a fire truck

  Every year the people in our small bush community put on a fantastic Christmas party. It is held in the old hall which is right next door to the bush fire brigade. The hall used to be used for dances and social gatherings but over the years it fell into disrepair and became quite dilapidated. Through the hard work of volunteers and fundraisers it is now looking more beautiful than ever, fully restored with a kitchen, toilets and a great big communal area.

  Santa visits every year and gives each child a gift and lollies. This Santa is quite unique though, he doesn’t arrive on reindeer’s or even six white boomers, but on the back of our local fire truck! The kids all gather out the front of the hall as the sound of the siren rings through the hills. It gets closer and closer and louder and louder as each child’s excitement grows. Then around the corner comes Santa with his helpers, and the kids faces just beam with the most magnificent smiles.

  

  Everyone shuffles into the hall and Santa sits on his throne giving out gifts and dispensing hearty “Ho, Ho, Ho’s”.

  Afterwards we enjoy Christmas Carols sang by our local choir and the kids break apart a Christmas Pinata.

  It’s really a lovely way to say thankyou to all our neighbours, share some food and a few drinks and to enjoy in the season that is Christmas.

  For everyone who has no idea what a white boomer is then this you tube clip may help enlighten you

  My son just LOVES this song and it has been his very favourite song this Christmas.

  Merry Christmas.
