Last evening I watched a Christmas parade work its way along the main street of a little town in Idaho. The parade lasted 15 minutes, and that included all the entries going around the block twice! There was a fire truck covered with Christmas lights, a couple of ATVs with Christmas lights, a church float with the nativity scene, a library float featuring (mostly) red-and-green-clad elves, a flatbed truck with an inflatable snowman and a teddy bear, and a very old bus with people handing out free coffee. Candy was thrown by many of the parade entries, and Christmas cheer was spread around liberally. There was only a small bit of snow on the ground, no precipitation coming down, and it wasn't ridiculously cold. It is a local tradition, and obviously was enjoyed by the smattering of parade-goers.
@scribblingramma I am so jealous that sounds like the parades like we use to have. I wish they would go back to the old way. Now we have a few local shops that make a float and the rest is political, police, and fire trucks. Our 4th of July parade use to end with Santa Claus, I guess because Florida is where he comes in July. lol
