I can remember a lot of Christmas parades when I was a child growing up near Winston-Salem, NC. I cannot ever remember being at one of those parades and being warm.
Those parades created a lot of wonderful memories. Still there is nothing like a small town parade to really kick off the holiday season. Today we got to go to an old fashioned Christmas parade, and we did not even get cold. In fact it was a nearly perfect afternoon for a parade.
The parade started a little after 4 pm and lasted for about forty-five minutes. The kids around us had a wonderful time. There was plenty of candy thrown to keep them busy. I put up a slide show on the web with shots of most of the floats and some of the crowd. It was a great all American event to get the holidays started with style.
