If you're not from here, you may not know that Kris Kringle spends most of December in Culver City (like most of us, by choice). Thanks to the Culver City Police Officer’s Association, Santa Claus gets a police escort with sirens and flashing lights through the streets. He then waits on a corner to take a picture with children and adults.

It's classic Culver City hospitality. The CCPOA's  Santa Sleigh 2011 Tour starts next week. Be good!
