The first weekend of the 2009 Santa Run's began Friday evening with runs though the neighborhoods of Mt. Carmel Woods and Mt. Carmel Estates and on Saturday, the neighborhoods of Martin's Crossing, Charleston Terrace, Fredrick Drive, and Linden Lane saw Santa and his sleigh. Many of the children and families pictured knew Santa was close as his arrival was announced by flashing lights and sirens. And while some children eagerly awaited Santa to pass by and handed out candy canes, others were caught a bit off guard and rushed out, still in their pajamas to be greeted with Christmas cheer.
Look for the Charles County Volunteer Rescue Squad in the neighborhoods of Agricopa and Hickory Ridge on Friday (12/5) and in Quailwood, Morgans Ridge, Valley View and Jamestown on Saturday (12/6). We hope to see you there, even if you're in your slippers and pj's.
