Because really, what says Christmas more than elves driving around in powerboats, the Grinch performing tricks on a personal watercraft and Santa Claus waterskiing around National Harbor? Nothing, that’s what.

For 25 years, the Water-Skiing Santa — whose website is, you guessed it, waterskiingsanta.com — has been entertaining people with season’s greetings as he’s pulled from the back of a boat. He’ll be taking to the water this afternoon at 1 p.m. And if the above video and the promise of a Grinch on a Jet Ski wasn’t enough to pique your interest, below, you’ll find the announcement of today’s performance culled from the Water-Skiing Santa’s website. As someone who gets a ton of unsolicited promotional email on a daily basis, I can assure you that it doesn’t get much better than this.

Whoa, kneeboarding reindeer? Now we’re talking!
