The second Date of Christmas

For the Second date of Christmas, the kids and I attended the annual tree lighting/parade.  It is always so fun.  And a great parade because it is short, and not hot!  It was even warmer than usual, and no snow, which made it even more enjoyable.  It is such a fun tradition.  They have free hot chocolate, a band playing, and then a parade.  The sad thing is that last year, in the big windstorm, the huge "Christmas Tree" blew down!  They still put lights in all the other trees but it was a little sad to be missing the main tree!
