All that to say, the other day we went to our town's Christmas parade. My boys kept asking when we were going to see Buzz Lightyear and Chip and Dale! I think we have seen our share of Disney parades.
We had been at the parade for about 1 hour and it was only 1/3 of the way over! Apparently, ANYONE can join the parade. You had your usual high school and middle school bands. But there were realtors,insurance companies, an orthodontist, and other random groups. I think next year I'm going to enter a float and call it "Just because"! that might be fun!
