If Santa Claus looks a little more plump this Christmas season and his reindeer a little sluggish, it’s most likely the short turnaround time between Thanksgiving and the jolly old elf’s trip around the world. Luckily, on the Island, all the holiday cheer and shopping can be found in one place: The Surf City Firehouse, at 713 Long Beach Blvd.

Beginning Friday, Dec. 6, the Surf City Volunteer Fire Co. and EMS is in the business of selling Christmas trees.
