First of all, they still call it a Christmas parade here, not a Happy Holiday Parade, or Season's Greetings Parade, or Joyous Season Parade.
Political correctness has no place in my small town.
The parade consisted of the requisite pickup trucks pulling flatbed trailers, filled with freezing, candy-tossing townsfolk bundled up in either OU or OSU stadium blankets.
We waved, they tossed candy, PK and C gathered it up.
Then there were a couple tractors, a couple classic cars, a couple hot rods, a couple harley riders, the fire department, the police department, three Shriners in wheelie-poppin' dune buggies, an all-female color guard, the high school marching band, the local dance school ankle-biters adorned in holiday wrapped cardboard boxes, a few entries by the main commercial entities in town, and of course, Santa made an appearance -- as a blow up lawn ornament figure on the back of a trailer.
Everyone was tossing candy. Everyone was freezing their smiles off. Everyone was in the holiday spirit.
The girls came home with a half-grocery sack full of candy and this item, being handed out the by local Methodist Church.
I take it Mary and Joseph didn't have spell check on their computer.
