Santa to Visit Newtown on a Fire Truck Dec. 22

The Newtown Fire Association will be driving Santa around Newtown borough and township.

Santa will trade his reindeer for a fire engine on Dec. 22, when the Newtown Fire Association escorts St. Nick around the township and the borough. It's an annual tradition that Newtown children look forward to each year. The festivities begin at 9 a.m. According to the Newtown Fire Association, there isn't a specific route. Typically, Santa's tour begins in Newtown Borough. The fire truck reaches Newtown Grant and the northern section of the township later in the day. The trucks escorting Santa use their sirens to alert residents of their arrival, so if you hear the sirens he's getting close. In conjunction with Santa's visit, there will be a canned good drive. Residents can give canned goods to the last car in the fire truck procession.

How to Track Down the Hottest Toys

Tips for getting the presents they want without having to hoof it from Newtown to the North Pole.

Santa is awesome, but he doesn’t always deliver the hottest toys of the season on demand to Newtown, no matter how nicely we ask. If the kids – or wannabe kids – in your life happen to have their hearts set on presents that are hard to come by, it can be torturous running from store to store only to find what they really want just isn’t available. Whether your little girl has her sights on the latest Lalaloopsy, your son wants a Hot Wheels R/C Terrain Twister or that “big baby” in your life is yearning for a copy of Halo 4, here are some ideas on how to track down what’s in demand without putting miles and miles on your vehicle in the process: Tips for Shopping in Town If you hate ordering online and love the gratification of being able to…

Track Santa's Journey Right Here

Finally, the Internet reaches its potential - follow Santa's journey online in real-time.

For 364 days out of the year, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) spends its time tracking airplanes, missiles, space ships—anything flying near the United States and Canada.  But on Christmas Eve, a team of volunteers spends the night tracking a very special pilot: Santa Claus.  "We are the only organization that has the technology, the qualifications and the people to do it," NORAD said on its website. "NORAD tracks Santa, but only Santa knows his route, which means we cannot predict where and when he will arrive at your house."  Santa usually starts at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean and travels west, NORAD noticed, meaning he moves from the South Pacific to New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Africa and …

Share Your Santa Photos!

Tis the season to have the big sitdown with Santa.

Call it a tradition, a routine or just a force of habit, but most of us go to THAT Santa for our annual picture. The reasons can range from personal - you just "like" that one more, to pragmatic - it's the one that's closest to home. Whatever your reason, we hope you'll share two things. First - where DO you go to see Santa and why is that YOUR Santa? Second - share your Santa photo and spread some holiday cheer!
