A Christmas Scene

It could be anywhere In a small town somewhere A decorated scene for Christmas With colorful lights shining Everywhere outdoors All the stores decorated bright With colorful lights red,green, white All the lamp post outside done Gleam with red, green, gold Shimmers that sparkles in light People gather outdoors With their children thrilled All waiting for an evening parade Not just any parade- a Santa parade To begin for the first time at night Then when the parade is over Then everyone goes to the Meeting Hall It is there Santa is seated -waiting For the children to visit him Each takes a turn to sit on his lap Then photo's are taken Each child has a photo done Taken with Santa Clause To keep as a treasure As a memory of that day

Sounds like Christmas in Huntsville ~ small-town friendliness, night-time parade and lots of hot chocolate and apple cider. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the season to you and your family.

And this gift of celebration and holiday gives such wonderful memories to our children. Christmas is about family , joy, faith and even if only for a brief time span- the feeling that this world is not as bad as we too oft think it is. That light and goodness still exists in this dark world. A fav..

Darlene, you describe scenes that are found in nearly every town, yet you make it seem so special. It's a night that children will remember all their lives. And those photos with Santa become family treasures. Beautifully penned! Best wishes for happy holidays, Carolyn

Hello Carolyn, in this town the Santa parade was held at night. A parade lite up at night. The children loved it. Then to sit on Santa's knee and photo taken was a really big treat for the children. Have a nice day my friend.
