We went to our town Christmas parade last night and it was so much fun! My oldest son was in the parade, with his high school marching band. And there is an awesome coffee shop in the town square where we were watching it from. I had the most delicious chicken salad sandwich and a yummy coffee.
The theme of the parade was ‘A Country Christmas’ and there were all kinds of ‘floats’ entered in the fun procession! There were very dirty muddin’ trucks, a funeral parlor limousine, and even a miniature carousel. There was even a truck from the Coop – I’m pretty sure that’s where my mother-in-law buys her horse riding apparel. I just love saying it – ‘the Coop’. It makes me feel so country, like an official, bonafide small-towner! I just love it – but, I’m a dork like that!
The parade sounds like so much fun. We missed ours this year as our daughter was sick, but next weekend there will be one in a neighbouring town, so hopefully we will make it to that one.
Sorry your daughter was sick – hope she’s feeling better! I was actually thinking of going to the parade in the next town over this year, too. They seem to always be on a different week, so we could go to both! I think that would be fun – to really get us in a festive mood!
What fun! Taking time to “do” the holidays is one of the extra steps that makes them memorable.
Yes, Terry! That is exactly what I was thinking and having trouble putting into words! Thank you for ‘voicing’ my feelings!
