One
of the oldest traditions in Silvermine is the arrival of
Santa Claus on
Christmas Eve at the Silvermine Tavern parking lot.
At 3:30 the festivities began with lots of hot chocolate and
marshmallows for everyone, compliments of Frank and Marsha
Whitman, with seasons greetings exchanged by all in
attendance. Soon we all heard the familiar sound of the SCA
antique fire truck, whistles blowing and bells ringing,
arriving with Santa and his elves and barrels of Christmas
presents for all good girls and boys.
The air was filled with the sound of
children's excited voices as each name was called out and
gifts were opened and admired...
This
is truly a wonderful way to begin the Christmas festivities,
with some of us remembering the days 20 and 30 years ago
when we came with our children and now with our
grandchildren...it doesn't get much better than this and
reminds us all once again, the wonder of this community
called Silvermine that we are so privileged to be a part
of...
