I have the privilege of being Santa at a a major manufacturing facility in my area. Sooo... I get the Santa suit well in advance of the plant's Saturday "Breakfast with Santa". That's when the light bulb went off....

The B2410 was clean and fully serviced for the winter chores.... MMM was off and stored and the snow blade had yet to be installed.
On a trip to the local ACE Hardware we (Ms. Santa) found a large wreath with battery operated LED programable lights... perfect for cable tying to the ROPS. Then I went through a couple neighboring subdivisions loaded with kids at O'Dark Thirty just after late sunset. Did I mention my granddaughter worked her magic with he phone that played "Here Comes Santa Claus". Between the lights, music and stunning tractor we got noticed and then some.

Was not prepared for the turnout... or the welcome! What was supposed to be a 30 to 45 minute neighborhood drive through. That turned out to be 2 hours and change and photographs and videos out the wazoo.

Now for the cherry on top. A 5 YO neighbor boy recognized the tractor but NOT ME! Here's where I almost lost it.... With a concerned facial expression and voice he admonished me by saying, "You better hope Mr. Butch knows you have his tractor...."

Merry Christmas everybody!

My BIL is a real-bearded Santa. Makes enough coin from November to January to pay his truck payment for the year. He just bought a RK37 hydro tractor...painted red and black. Will show him this as a new revenue stream.

A friend of ours played Santa every year and had never had any of the kids figure out who he was. Then one year a boy looked at he shoes and said he name. It is funny the things kids notice about people.

Great Santa look, I'm sure you spread some Christmas cheer!

What was it he noticed that made him KNOW it was Mr. Butch's tractor?
Two things other than it being a B2410.... the seat and the Racor fuel water separator The little turd "helped" me install the filter.

I was amazed at the response the unannounced impromptu cruise through the neighborhood made... the looks on the kids faces was over the top
