My family and I attended the South Rowan Christmas Parade on Tuesday and were so disappointed to see Santa riding in a truck.

If hundreds of children can go withstand the cold temperatures and pouring rain to wait on him, the least he can do is get on his sleigh and wave. My children waited to see Santa and were sadly disappointed as he rode by with his tinted window up!

After all, what does he do on Christmas Eve in the snow, rain and wind he must encounter?
