- Look at the route maps once they're posted by Monday, December 7, so you know which streets Santa covers each night.
- If your street isn't on a route, drive to a spot along the route ahead of time so you're in place before Santa and the firefighters arrive.
- Keep the live tracker open on your phone to follow Santa's location, and tap a route on the map for more details about that night.
- Listen for the sirens on route nights, because they let you know Santa is on his way so you can get outside in time.
- Dress warmly for waiting outside on a December evening, and get the kids ready to greet Santa with a big 'Merry Christmas!' when he passes.
