Santa arrived in the Gulf Islands yesterday by boat, not by sleigh as he does in so much of the world. This must be Santa’s 53rd? yearly visit to the Gulf Island’s children, courtesy of the Bellingham Lions in Washington State.
The weather was absolutely stunning so a huge crowd turned out on Pender Island to view the spectacle. As is the ususal practice, Santa arrived with maybe one dozen helpers to interact with the kids and keep them occupied until they could visit with Santa and wish for game boxes and other expensive items.
Many of Santa’s helpers have been doing this for years and it’s great to see them have as much fun as the kids.
