Christmas Blossoms - 2010

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Awesome pics everyone is sharing. Great to have so many folks contributing this year.

Love those carolers Undrtkr.

I just got back from the local Santa Claus Parade so I finally have a few photos to share.

More on the way!

Our local Air Cadets and the Canucks Band

Hang on this one is giving me a hard time.

The two above were part of the Air Cadets float.

I have a soft spot for the Peanuts Gang and so do a few other folks, they were featured in three different floats.

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

More of the gang!

Sentimentally and traditionally I have a thing for Gingerbread Houses too!

What's a parade without Synchro Skate Competitors minus the skates.

The feast is ready - remember to give thanks!

The ghosts minus Jacob Marley

The big guy is so much jollier than the Santa we had last year. In fact, his beard is real.

I had others, but I think those were the best of the bunch. Too bad it was such a dull day, I was hopeful at 11:30 that it might actually be sunny. If it wasn't going to be sunny, I wish it would have snowed. That would have been better.

Next weekend, I'll try to arrange a night drive to grab some outdoor decorations.

Made of food! This Santa and Reindeer are made of pecans, licorice, marshmallow, jelly beans and other food. It was made back in 1963 and has been displayed at North Park Mall in Dallas ever since.
