Santa Claus, with a little help from the Redondo Beach Police Officers' and Firefighters' associations, has been busy travelling the streets of Redondo Beach in his custom made sleigh this week.
On Thursday, Santa visited Curtis Avenue in north Redondo Beach and was greeted by dozens of residents in each block as he stopped to hand out candy and pose for photos.
Throughout the entire journey, Santa was escorted by off duty police officers and firefighters who volunteered their time to help out the big man.
