Yet even more nightmarish are the descriptions of everyday life in a society where numbing poverty is ubiquitous. Naive farm boys who come to Stockholm fall into paralyzing debt, with dire consequences. Crowds gather to cheer an executioner, himself a condemned man so drunk it takes minutes for him to cleave his victim’s head from his body. Those soldiers who survive attack by Russian warships subsequently die of typhus by the hundreds. Female victims of sexual assault are thrown into workhouses indistinguishable from prisons, where they are tortured.

So Koch, along with half a dozen choreographers and parents, ordered plastic signs and customized each with a handwritten announcement of the role that child would be playing. They launched their top-secret mission at 10 p.m. Aug. 18, and over the next four hours visited homes in Rio Vista, Mountain House, Discovery Bay, Brentwood, Oakley and Antioch, tiptoeing onto lawns and hammering in signs with mallets. “It was complete shenanigans,” Koch said, recalling the time she jumped over a hedge while sprinting from the scene when a parent unexpectedly pulled into the driveway.

More than 75 motorcyclists and passengers, led by Santa, will then leave Dudley Perkins at 10:45 a.m. and are expected to arrive with a San Mateo fire truck escort between 11 to 11:15 a.m. to present the toys to the children at the medical center.

Donations may be made in advance by calling the medical center at 650-573-3731.
