Annual Santa Parade by nickspicsnz

Annual Santa Parade

Our little town had it's Santa Parade this evening. Several local businesses, the emergency services, residents from the retirement village, etc. take part. The highlight is, of course, Santa who rides on an old fire truck and hands out ice blocks (ice lollies to my UK friends - not sure what they're called elsewhere). These pirates were having fun on the Playcentre float.

(Also for the Dec Words List words Parade and Summer Fun.)
I love their expressions!

It looks too warm and sunny for a Santa parade πŸ˜„πŸ˜„.

You've caught some great pirate poses there! Wish I had lived in your town , I only got to be a shepherd and that isn't anywhere near so much fun.

Seems so strange to think of Santa handing out ice lollies ...

Oh my goodness that little boy on the left is almost identical to my son when he was that age. Such a cutie.

@dide Thanks Dianne. They really seemed to be enjoying themselves, unlike some of the kids who were over it after having to wait around for an hour beforehand for judging.
@susiemc and @fbailey I know - Christmas feels a bit weird when it's hot and sunny.
@laroque Haha, even in our little town we had hippies, pirates, the Polar Express, Pink Ladies to name but a few.
@johnsutton Yes indeed, the Santa Parade is an annual highlight in our town's calendar.
@happypat Thanks Pat. The sun definitely helps and it's very hot at the moment but it doesn't feel very Christmassy.
@deborah63 You must have done a double take Deborah :) He certainly looks like he has a mischievous side.
@agedrunner @joemuli @rickster549 Thanks very much.
