Every year at this time, "Santa" drives around all the streets in Titirangi, on the back of a fire engine. He throws out lollies to all the kids. First comes the white fire van (above) which is playing loud Christmas music, this alerts people that Santa is about to drive past.
In the photo above, if you enlarge it an look closely at the brown fence, you can see some of the lollies he has thrown to some kids across the road. Santa waves to everyone and ells out Merry Christmas as e drives past.
They use one of the older fire engines for Santa's drive by.
With a final wave, some more lollies, and a "Merry Christmas", "Santa" is gone for another year.
Santa driving around the neighbourhood on his fire engine is a long standing tradition. I can remember it from my early childhood.
Thanks for dropping by, have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
So glad you got to see Santa. Our fire department did their ride by yesterday too.
