Berkeley Hills escorts Santa

Santa took a few hours off from overseeing toy production at the North Pole and reviewing his naughty and nice lists to visit neighbourhood children in the Berkeley Hills Fire District. Firefighters drove Santa through the streets Saturday for a last minute chance to see neighbourhood children and distribute candy. Santa is back to work now and says he is just about ready to deliver presents in a few days. We were happy to help Santa out again this year.

Merry Christmas!
