Operation Santa adopts an area of town every year and delivers gifts with Santa and his elves on Christmas Morning. They are led by the Great Falls Fire Dept and a horse drawn team.
Well this year our neighborhood was chosen by Operation Santa. When I first heard the procession I didn’t know what it was and I thought there might be a fire somewhere close by (had a house fire down the block a few months back).
When I stepped out the door to see what was going on, a bunch of folks, including Santa Claus came up the driveway wishing us a Merry Christmas and handing out gifts.
I’ve known for years that Great Falls is a great place to live and this business with regard to Operation Santa just makes this place all the more great. The kids jump up all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to see what’s going on and are delighted by the procession with all of the bright Christmas colors, the horses, the fire truck, the music, and of course … the toys.
Operation Santa has been going on now for a few years and it appears to be quite a success. Volunteers are welcome and whatever support you might give to the organization will be gleefully accepted.
