The parade party went off today with only a single hitch. Even the weather smiled on us --- the rain dried up an hour or so before the parade, and the sun even poked out from behind the clouds.
The one hitch: even though the weather had dried up, and even though the forecast had been steadily improving all morning, they cancelled the parade. Too many of the floats were paper and cardboard glued together, in danger of falling apart from the damp.
In the end, the only vehicle in the parade was the pickup truck bringing Boo, Skibo, and a number of others back up to the house, everyone in the back waving and crying "Merry Christmas" at the top of their lungs.
We managed to have a lovely little party, nonetheless: we had somewhere between thirty and forty people (far fewer than if the parade had co-operated, of course), a nice mix, young, young at heart, but all happy and joyful.
And we've continued a good tradition of having a party on the day of the Christmas parade:-)
Yours, partied out,
N.

sounds like you had a good time, despite the weather. :-) Shame the threat of rain was enough to cancel the parade, though.
