Did you see their faces?
Take a peek at the pics from Santa’s Firetruck Tour on Dec.10.
Santa’s Coming to town Saturday, Dec.10 ON A FIRETRUCK.
YES, a Big Red Firetruck. Giving his reindeer the night off, Old Saint Nick is hopping on a fire engine and spreading some Holiday Magic throughout our neighborhoods.
The Big Jolly Elf plans to make 5 stops to sing with his elves (who DIDN'T get the night off) AND hand out treats to the children—big and small :-)

It’s fast, it's easy, and, there's NO postage.

Another way to SHINE!
Hey Neighbors, here’s another way to SHINE hope into someone’s life. There are MANY who are without the basics, like shelter and food. We have witnessed this in our own city. If you have been looking for a worthy mission to support, please consider the Nashville Rescue Mission. I can think of no better cause.
