Christmas carols mingled with the sound of fire truck sirens in downtown Juneau.<\/p>\n
Capital City Fire\/Rescue and Santa Claus made their way through downtown Juneau and Douglas<\/a> on Friday evening for the fire department’s annual holiday parade.<\/p>\n Christian Etheridge, 6, who has lost his two front teeth, sang “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth” shortly before firefighters walked by handing out candy canes to children along Franklin Street.<\/p>\n Etheridge, like most of the other children, said he was excited to see Santa Claus. He said he knew what he hoped St. Nick will bring him this year, too.<\/p>\n “A spy kit and spy goggles,” Etheridge said. “I could spy on whoever I want.”<\/p>\n [Photos: <\/a>Christmas sights all over Juneau<\/a>]<\/ins><\/p>\n Mia Richins, 4, clasped hands with her family and joined in a rendition of “Jingle Bells” after the parade.<\/p>\n She too said she was most excited to see Santa, who was joined by firefighters, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch and a handful of decorated fire trucks. Richins had high hopes for what Santa will bring her later this month.<\/p>\n “A special robot that helps me clean up my toys,” Richins said.<\/p>\n The holiday parade started at the Mount Roberts Tramway and made its way into downtown Juneau before taking the Douglas Bridge and proceeding through downtown Douglas and ending at the Douglas fire station.<\/p>\n “By the end of the night, everyone’s pretty tired,” Assistant Chief Chad Cameron said.<\/p>\n The lengthy parade extended a long-running tradition.<\/p>\n
