Santa Drives a Saturn

With Cole and Braydon getting older by the day, I wanted to try and do something to make Christmas a little more 'alive.'

I remember being a little kid and thinking every sound I heard while laying restless in bed was Santa on the roof. But that was just my wild imagination.

This year, Em, Mom and Dad, Ashley and myself crammed into the Vue and took a drive by Sara and Jeremy's place. Parked in front of the bedroom window, I shook a few sleigh bells while Dad did his best impression of a Southern California-based Santa.

Inside and dressed in his holiday PJs, Cole was thrilled to hear Santa outside his window, and his reaction -- priceless -- which you can see in the video below.

Hopefully, next year we'll remember to make this a tradition and spread these kind of reactions to other children. But only if they're on the "Nice" list.
