Advent Calendar Santa Claus

I don't ever remember sending a letter to Santa Claus, by the time I could write I had figured out Santa Claus was my parents. I do remember going to the Crescent Department Store and sitting on Santa's lap to tell him what I wanted for Christmas. The fire department had an old truck they decorated and put a sled, reindeer and Santa on the back and went up and down each street in the city throwing candy at the kids. They still do that.
