My New Christmas Tradition (Santa Arrives by Tugboat)

Santa Claus arrives by Tugboat in Mystic on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. So we bundled up and met our cousins and families in downtown Mystic for the event. It was such a neat time to feel like we belonged to a community. Toby had a lot of fun playing with his cousin Elizabeth (they have a love-hate relationship). Norah just stayed snuggled up in the backpack and watched everyone. Toby thought the tugboat whistle was really loud. I don't even know if you can see Santa on the boat, but he's on the front waving. (And the story at our house is that Santa works for Jesus.)
