Santa's got a brand-new ride ...

Remember to keep the special magic of Christmas in your heart today and all year long.

... even though he still likes to hang out with the reindeer because he’s an old softie.

I managed to get in a petite walk this morning, and, I decided it’s a good thing I took some photos of holiday décor back in early December, since I never made it back to Emmons Boulevard after my last walk on December 8th. At least the weather might get milder, and the ice will melt, so I’ll attempt a jaunt or two in the next few days (hopefully).

I saw this Ho-Ho-Helicopter parked on a homeowner’s front lawn and decided it must be Santa’s Plan “B” for when there is not enough snow to land the sleigh and his nine tiny reindeer.

So, that got me thinking ... is Santa’s more-modern ride electric or a hybrid?

Oh deer – do tell!

Actually, the homeowners’ holiday décor gives Santa many options for his sleigh and reindeer – I even saw an airplane. Well, we all need a little more mirth and merriment in our lives, so at what better time than Christmas?

Whatever Santa uses on his long journey tonight, he might want to have a Garmin or Siri handy to get him around the globe in record time, if he won’t be relying on Rudolph’s red nose. Sadly, my long journey can’t even compare to Santa’s, at a mere 735 miles walked to date in 2016.

Safe travels to you and yours and blessings for a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.
