There are many sites to see regarding Christmas in downtown Richmond, Va. From the tacky Christmas lights tour to the decorated doors on Monument Avenue, there is a lot going on.
Yesterday, Kelly, Brendan, and myself headed to Monument Avenue in the afternoon to look at the decorated doors. It really is neat to see the number of people out with their cameras taking photos of these historical homes and the giant wreaths with colored ornaments hanging from them (one lady even asked Kelly if she was a decorator getting ideas - ha ha).
While blocking traffic and looking out of our car window, in the corner view of my eye, I spotted Santa. It was Santa and his 1960's prestige Cadillac with a bow on top and presents inside. The expression from Brendan's mouth was enough to scare any reindeer away. So, I cut through a round a bout in the middle of the street while spinning tires in the slushy snow just to get up close to see Santa and his new ride. And it was a Christmas treat. May be a close second to cousin Eddie pulling up the driveway in his RV to visit the Griswald's.
The afternoon drive - by ended with a great Starbucks drink and utter amazement of Santa sitting in a Caddy located in historical downtown Richmond with homes decorated in "class."
