Before the Parade

While attendance has dropped dramatically, our little town tinuously holds onto the Christmas Parade tradition .
I am so proud of that! Cold temps, hot coco, catching up with friends, watching the children wait for Santa.... It was absolutely what small town America should be: opening prayer, Pledge of Alliegence, the Star Spangled Banner, and Christmas music blasting!
Oh and I found The Fat Man!! See extra!
This Santa is actually a special Ed teacher at the elementary school. I watched him grow up! Does that make me old?? :—) MERRY CHRISTMAS and be blessed!
