For the past few years we have been going to my hometown of Collingswood every November to participate in their wonderful holiday traditions. Collingswood has all the fun events that you would expect in a small town and it does Christmas the best! The streets are lined with lights, carolers are singing in the center of town every weekend, and they have a really good holiday parade complete with Santa on a firetruck!
However, our favorite tradition takes place the Friday night after Thanksgiving. Everyone gathers in the center of town while the local choirs sing holiday songs and fake snow is falling from the sky. Then the big guy arrives! We all look up and Santa appears at the top of the Town Hall building. He then waves and makes his way down via a firetruck ladder. The kids (and their parents) all go wild with excitement! He then hands out candy canes to all the children.
