We Hate see Santa and the Mrs leave but they told us they will be back next year. Here’s the goodbye letter they gave us.

Ho ho ho! 🎄
What a joy it has been for Santa and me to tour your beautiful town and spend time with the dedicated members of the East Side Hose Company #4. From the friendly smiles to the warm holiday spirit, every moment of our visit filled our hearts with cheer.
We are so grateful for your hospitality and for the important work you do each day to keep your community safe. Your kindness, pride, and teamwork truly embody the spirit of the season.

As we say goodbye and begin our journey back to the North Pole, please know that your town holds a special place on our Nice List. We will be thinking of you fondly as Christmas draws near.

Until we meet again, keep spreading joy, looking out for one another, and believing in a little Christmas magic.

With warmest wishes and holiday cheer,
