Santa came to town

It was the night after Thanksgiving in Traverse City and the streets downtown were alive. Folks traveled far and wide to get their chance at seeing the Jolly Ole' St. Nick arrive. Santa stepped off his sleigh and weaved his way past one lucky lil' lad, Hunter, touching his arm and said, "Hi, buddy" then continued to center stage. When Santa greeted the eagerly waiting crowd, everybody yelled really loud, then cheered with glee as Santa lit the magnificent tree. The pine was tall and free, the star on top and the lights shined bright, what a beautiful tree, what a beautiful night!
