Santa Claus Day in Almont




Hello all! recently we made a visit to the great town of Almont, ND for Santa Claus Day. This is an event the town puts on for the area kids. It is amazing how giving this community is. I love it here! Santa Claus Day consists of yummy treats and Hot Cocoa, meeting Santa, and then getting your name drawn out of a hat for an unbelievable present. I could not believe what they were giving away. V-tech computers, bikes, rocking horses, trucks, barbies, 3 ft dolls. Amazing stuff. my kids were in toy heaven. Not only did each child get a toy they also got a stuffed animal for putting their name in the bucket to begin with. Oh and an ornament for talking to Santa. It was wonderful. Frank got a noisy Helicopter, Earl picked a sem and trailer with three street bikes on it, and Gwen choose a vacuum and ironing board set.

The cutest part of the whole thing was when earl got done talking to Santa, he received his bag of candy and peanuts. upon looking in the bag he looked up and asked "hey where is the monster truck I asked for?" Apparently whatever you ask for from Santa is supposed to magically appear in the brown bag you get from the elves. hehe.
