to launch his competition rowing skull.
I mean really, how else do you think Santa stays in shape during the summer.
Santa Ethan has been doing this for sometime. I have only seen it once
but, at the time did not know who it was. I also thought my eyes were
playing tricks and, when I realized it wasn't thought it was the sweetest thing.
Santa's seaside row usually takes place before I am awake on
Christmas; unlike households that have small children up at the crack of dawn.
These photos were taken by our mutual friend Daria that withstands
the damp and cold yearly to capture this most heartfelt moment.
Santa Ethan, a rowing champion
definitely brings a unique touch to the saying
"seaside holiday".
Should you look out onto the bay some Christmas morning
and, see Santa rowing on by you can finally say
so, this is what Christmas by sea is like.

Thank you for adding that lovely narrative prose to the pictorial story. Not quite the thoughts I am having when 'withstanding the damp and cold'!!!
Which reminds me of last year, and that we just made it Christmas morning 2010 before the Giant Blizzard struck!!!
On a fun note, Christmas is also Santa Ethan's birthday, so some of the families he visits along the waterfront give him little gifts and remembrances, which seems only fitting after he spent the night giving gifts to the rest of us!
Peace to all in the New Year,
