Santa brought his sleigh carriage to Main Street today.
He was headed here with reindeer, but the Texas-like temperatures forced the switch to horses.
Out in force too were Orphenians, Staples’ elite singing group. They donned their gay apparel — sweaters, scarves and caps — just for show. It was warm.
But you can’t keep a good rendition of “Jingle Bells” down.
After which, a few of director Luke Rosenberg’s carolers hopped in Santa’s carriage for a musical ride.
It’s all a warm-up for next weekend’s Candlelight Concert.
And we do mean warm-up.
