This event almost always is scheduled\u00a0on the first Sunday in December, and takes place rain or shine, calm or stormy. \u00a0Several years the fleet set out in the middle of a snowstorm! \u00a0Originally only a few yacht clubs were involved, but now clubs all over Seattle participate and hundreds of special people have a chance to spend the afternoon out on a boat. \u00a0After the completion of the cruise, the participants come into the Yacht Club building for sandwiches, cookies and drinks, and also for a chance to sit with Santa and tell him what they would like for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>For the last 20+ years, I have worked with\u00a0the Highland Center in Bellevue and Meydenbauer Yacht Club to take photos of each individual with Santa. \u00a0I then print and deliver the photos to Highland Center so the photos can be distributed to all of the special people, and also place all of the photos online where they can be viewed and downloaded, in case people are not able to receive their prints.<\/p>\n<p>Following are a few\u00a0of this year&#8217;s Santa photos. \u00a0The rest of the photos can be seen on my <a title=\"2014 Special People's Cruise Santa
