Merry Christmas!
On Sunday, December 22, 2024, the magic of Christmas filled the air as Santa Claus himself toured the roadways and byways of Minoa! With his sleigh temporarily traded for a fire truck, Santa set out to find all the children on his “Nice List” — and what a surprise! The “Naughty List” was completely empty (not even the Grinch made an appearance this year)!
Santa had a merry entourage: the dedicated firefighters of the Minoa Fire Department. Starting bright and early at 9:00 a.m., they turned on their sirens and spread holiday cheer as they rolled down the streets, letting everyone know that candy canes and Christmas joy were on their way. Santa’s cheerful “Ho, ho, ho!” rang out, and smiles lit up faces both young and old.
At the end of the day, Santa declared, “We had another successful year and made a lot of kids happy.”
From our family to yours, the Minoa Fire Department wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a holiday season full of love, laughter, and joy!
And, thank you so much to Spill the Tea for making delicious breakfast sandwiches to start our day and to Parkway Pizza to keep us going. We appreciate your support!
