WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Some of our West Sac neighbors in Broderick were hanging out one day, when suddenly the father of the house said, “We need a little bit of cheer in West Sacramento after everything that has gone on in the last year and a half”. The group began talking and decided to do a little something for the community.

They decorated their house on B Street, in Broderick, made snacks, got more snacks donated, contacted Santa to schedule an appearance and put it all together for any community members that had the interest in coming by to say hi to Santa.

If you’re not familiar with B Street, it is a very small street with only 4 or 5 houses (at most) on it. The house that hosted this small cheer sharing event was all done up with lights… as well as the house across the street. As you pulled onto the street, you could already hear the Christmas music.

There were quite a few cars on that little street. Some belonged to the people spreading the cheer, but many belonged to people that pulled up and stopped so that they could get out and say hi to Santa, get some treats and take a picture with Santa. There is nothing more cheerful than hearing Santa “Ho, Ho, Ho” when you are a kid.

The host family had made and put together snack bags of Christmas trail mix that they fondly referred to as Christmas Crack. In addition, there were boxes of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes that were donated to them (for this event) by Cupcake Craving,

Cupcake Craving is this amazing little cupcake shop that is located at 2100 Arden Way Ste 169. They have cupcakes for every day or for special occasions. You can check out some of their creations on their website: www.cupcakecraving.com.

As a West Sac resident myself, I think it’s great when I see our community members take the time and effort to reach out to other community members (friends or strangers), just for the simple reason to help make their day brighter. This was a really great thing that this family did. Maybe they made it on the nice list!
