Santa to Visit Cinnaminson Christmas Eve

Look for the man of the hour in your neighborhood.

Keep your ears open this Christmas Eve because the big man himself will be in neighborhoods in Cinnaminson, escorted by the .

For the last three decades, Santa Claus leaves the North Pole and has his elves fill his sleigh for him Christmas Eve evening while he visits kids around Cinnaminson.

“It’s just amazing,” said Fire Chief Bill Kramer of seeing the kids when they see Santa Claus. “You just get these memories burned into your brain.”

Kramer remembers about 20 years ago, seeing one little girl “screaming at the top of her lungs” as Santa came down the street.

“She ran over to him, grabbed his leg,” he remembers. “It was just unbelievable.”

Santa and his helpers will be making their rounds starting late afternoon and going into the night Christmas Eve. Take a peek outside your window to catch a glimpse.

My children, nieces and nephews have the most wonderful memories of Santa arriving at our house in a firetruck. These men and women give up their Christmas eves with their own families to give the children of Cinnaminson Township this experience. I want to thank you for doing this year after year. You are truly Santa's helpers and the best kind of people. Merry Christmas!

I remember Santa driving down my street when I was little, you knew he was coming when you heard the fire engines. A few years back, Santa hopped off the fire truck to run up to our house and give my little girls a candy cane. It was awesome. I hope he continues to visit!

We were totally disappointed at the Palmyra Council Meeting last night. The ordinance requiring theRead More Inspection, Registration, and Licensing of Residential Rental Properties was opposed by many concerned citizens. Concerns were stated and questions asked, but few were answered or addressed! I still do not know if the NJ State code supercedes this ordinance, since no one addressed my concerns. The legality of this ordinance was questioned and it was mentioned that similar laws have been challenged in other towns and invalidated by the NJ courts. Why did the council not form a committee with those landlords that expressed a willingness to work together to come to an acceptable compromise and passage of an ordinance that is legal and for the good of all of Palmya?

I actually agree with most of what you say. If they face a court challenge and lose, they are dumberRead More than I thought. My point is that something has to be done. I feel that inaction is unacceptable. I literally have neighbors moving/trying to move because of 1 or 2 rental properties. Garbage on the lawn. Garbage in the street. Lawn only gets cut twice a year. Broken glass in the street. Multiple cars taking up space in front of homeowner's homes. Junk cars leaking oil in the streets. Broken porches, railings and windows. The drugs. The drugs. They should enforce current codes! The police should do their jobs. I hope that these new rules don't hurt innocent people, but some landlords have shown that they don't give a damn about the community that their "investments" are in.

I only wish that they would use the laws on the books. If 800 violations have been written sinceRead More April, then why do they need to pass this ordinance and have excessive fees and hurt me the small landlord who just spent over $7,000 fixing up my apartment. Palmyra has a large budget deficit, is this ordinance how the Council hopes to remedy the budget problem- $125. at a time?

This is great, we send our kids to school to read write and do math and yet when they have to putRead More things down for writing something for a college admissions we have to send them to professionals for help....So in esscence we are wasting our tax money and just providing teachers with a salary....No wonder the USA is in trouble...If its not on an I phone we cannot do it....Food for thought....
