Smulekoff’s was hopping last Saturday night when the jolly man came to visit us and to greet all of the children. After he appeared in the Fire and Ice Holiday Parade through downtown Cedar Rapids, Santa came to the store to visit with the children.
Nearly 100 families came to the store to see Santa and to say hello to the reindeer outside. Santa brought along Mrs. Claus, two of his reindeer and several of his faithful elves. As you might imagine, it was a busy place on first floor as the children climbed up on Santa’s knee to whisper in his ear that special something that they wanted him to bring on Christmas Eve.
We also had the pleasure of listening to the chorus from Washington High School as they shared some carols. The Grinch was on the TVs and in another corner some of the children were listening to stories. It was clear the holiday season has arrived.
And now the snow has arrived as well. It is officially Christmas time.
Enjoy.
