Please come down my street, Santa does not come anymore! 800 block of Irvington...PLEASE!

Can we blow the horn to let us know he is coming? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œ

Rumor has it that Santa likes Fireball? Can you confirm?

Its a shame the rest of Drexel Hill doesn't have a santa of the same caliber. πŸ˜” I was horrified at what came down our street last year.

Thank you- we look forward to this every year!😊

My very favorite local Christmas Tradition! Thank you Garrettford-Drexel Hill Fire Company!

I can't wait! One of my favorite traditions Drexel Hill has to offer! Seeing Santa on that fire truck even at 21 years old makes it feel more like Christmas! Happy Holidays and thank you for your service! <3

Thank you all for your service. Your neighbors across the street will be there!

I really miss this. This isn't done in Delaware.

Thank you all!

Thanks, I’ll mark my calendar!

Come over to S Harwood and visit us!!!!

I believe it was 1980. I am the only original left still faithfully going every year.

We can do without the sirens (kidding of course)

My former dog Gus loved this special day. Great tradition.

On the calendar!

It is good to see this continues. Now, GDH, a trivia question for you. When did this tradition start? (as the music from Jeopardy plays)

My Santa Baby will be ready

Rich Luongo. Anita Luongo is this the one that comes by the house?

Will there be a party for the kids this year?
