Santas, jetskis, and fireworks

Fede and I accidentally discovered Santa Fest, which was in Darling Harbour. All we saw were a bunch of people, sitting along the walkway, waiting for something. This, of course, peaked our curiosity. Eventually, we figured out it was Santa Fest. But, we didn't know what to expect--other than pyrotechnic jetskis.

First, we saw people getting ready for the parade, which included these people. Everyone wanted to take a picture with them--so, there is a random person in this picture. But, I liked the camel and reindeer "puppets".

Koalas can also be Santa here.
And, of course, you can't go wrong with wind-sock Santas.
But the highlight (for me anyway) was the fireworks. Especially, the fireworks coming off of the jetskis. We have more videos of the fireworks--but we haven't had time to edit all of the video yet. I will only say that I love fireworks--and I am especially thrilled that Sydneysiders also love fireworks.

Merry Christmas!
