More>> All I want for Christmas Santa arrives by fire truck at the Portuguese-American Club where children waited anxiously for a chance to whisper in his ear. Oftentimes Santa arrives alone when he visits Island children, but Sunday was different. When the jolly old elf arrived by fire truck at the Portuguese- American Club in Oak Bluffs right beside him was Mrs. Claus herself. The Christmas couple settled down near the fireplace in the club's spacious new hall and welcomed delighted children of all ages.
