Santa Over Gloucester! Merry Christmas!

It was a matter of time before I spotted Santa flying over Gloucester and he didn't disappoint! He was crisscrossing the sky waiting for kids to go to sleep.

Waiting for Santa to arrive.

 There he is top right!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

First snow of the season fell on Cape Ann. Even though at best was only 3", the coating gave that Christmas feel.
