On December 6th I found out that the Christmas parade would be going through the next town over. The one for our town went through the week before and I completely missed it...which upset me...but after being able to go to this one I felt much better! This was item #16: Watch the Christmas Parade downtown!
If you all remember (some of you may not because you are new readers, welcome!) I got engaged December 6th just before the parade in front of this house:

They had lights all over! :) It was SO pretty!

After Autry proposed we sat on the trunk of his car and watch the Christmas parade go by while drinking warm hot chocolate:

Here are photos of most of the cars/trucks which were in the parade:

The first lights of the parade peeping over the hill! |

All of the many (and loud) motorcycles.
I REALLY love the American Flags they all had on the back of their bikes. |

I think this float was one of my favorites! It's the North Pole. |

And of course Mr. & Mrs. Clause! They were so cute on their sleigh float. |
That was my Christmas parade experience for 2012! And I must say that it was absolutely wonderful!!! Next year I plan to watch this parade for sure! :)
Happy Holidays! Have a good one. :)
