This morning during our first snowfall of the season, a monster waited patiently at the downtown train station…

…as did a Ninja Turtle (along with lots of little kids)…

…for the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus!

Seriously? Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive during our first snow of the season? It could not have been planned to be any more perfect or magical.

Also in our downtown today, I noticed something for the first time. In the photo on the left, look to the right of the newspaper dispenser. The new discovery is in the photo on the right.

How cute and altogether strange is that? Right down to the little cardinal and Christmas stocking hung with care.

So today has been fun. Really, really, really cold. But fun.
