My name is Christopher Coles. I am a United States Marine Corps veteran, part-time motorcycle enthusiast, and a full-time holiday season enthusiast.

 

In the summer of 2022, it occurred to me that while I may never be as cool as the real Santa Claus (with his flying sleigh, bringing toys to children around the world) I could get at least part of the way there by bringing toys to children in local hospitals, and household goods for their families on the back of my motorcycle.

 

I'm thoroughly glad the idea hit me during the warmer weather, because by the time December rolls around the idea of riding your motorcycle becomes (not surprisingly) a much more daunting experience.  Fortunately, with the support of my incredible other half, Gillian, the plan was in full swing, and there was very little room for cold feet, no pun intended.

 

What began as a spur of the moment idea and best attempt at something we had no experience in, became one of the best experiences we'd ever had, and is now something we hope to continue doing every year!
