There are several indicators that let you know that Christmas is looming. For example when the shops start selling advent calendars, or when the town Christmas lights go up etc.etc. However the modern day definitive sign that the festive season is upon us is when you see the Christmas Coca-cola advert with the big red iconic Santa 1 truck and the song "holidays are coming, holidays are coming....". Well tonight this iconic truck was passing through Canvey Island and this was just too good an opportunity for the boys to miss out on.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the venue to also find that Santa was there with Rudolph and his sleigh.
 |
| Meet Santa, he better head home to Lapland soon as we will be visiting him in 3 weeks time! |
 |
| Rudolph was there with his flashing red nose. |

After seeing Santa we headed straight for arguably the most famous truck in the world from probably the most famous advert in the world.
 |
| Me and my boys with the iconic Coca-cola Christmas truck. |
 |
| On the bonnet you can see the fake snow which they had spraying up in the air to add to the occasion. |
 |
| You can see just how large the truck is as Joshua doesn't even reach the bottom of the door! |
 |
| The spectacular Santa picture painted on the side of the lorry. Ho ho ho. |
 |
| A bit dark but this is me and the boys at the back of the truck with the North Pole sign. |
 |
| The lights on the truck look just as impressive in real life as in the TV commercial. |
 |
| Probably the coolest number plate in the world, Santa 1. |
 |
| Fake snow filling the air. |

It is very rare that the boys have fizzy drinks and even rarer that they have a can of drink. However they were handing out mini cans of diet coke and as this was a special occasion we allowed the boys a can each. Brandon didn't touch his. Joshua loved his coke but wasn't too happy that it was ice cold.
And finally just to set the record straight for Auntie Lisa - Coke beats Pepsi hands down.
