Every year we walk around our lake and up a few blocks north and sit on the same downtown street with friends, family, neighbors, and strangers, so that we may watch the annual Christmas parade.  Every year we break out sandwiches, chips, cookies, hot cocoa, etc. and share.  Every year we watch the people walk up and down the streets before the parade begins and as evening settles in.  Every year we watch the fireworks sparkle and light up the sky signaling that the magic is on its way.  Every year we remember the year before and the year before and the year before....

 

And every year each of us, no matter our age, feels a little bit like a child again. 

 

 

Traditions.  They are so precious aren't they?

Traditions are precious, it gives you something fun and magical to pass down to the next generation. And now you will be sharing this with your little one, once she is old enough to enjoy it!
Love and hugs, Cindy

I was just talking to another bloggy friend about traditions. They keep going from one generation to the next....how special is that? My mom passed a few traditions on to me, and I have passed them on to my kids. There's nothing like a Christmas parade at night with all the lights lit up. Your pictures are magical. LOVE the train conductor.

Traditions are beautiful things passed on to each generation. Love the tradition of a Christmas parade. It warms my heart to read about the sharing of a beautiful tradition with family, friends and strangers. What a beautiful way for your community to kick-off the holiday season! This will be a very special christmas holiday with your new little grandaughter and your family will pass on traditions to her.

On another note, I was in Lowe's the other day looking in their magazine section and saw a cover that I recognized! I spotted the black and white checkered tablecloth and said to myself "this looks familiar" and realized it was your dining room and gorgeous buffet painted red and yellow! Your home made the perfect cover for the vintage magazine! I never tire of looking at your bright and cheerful home! Wising you and your family a beautiful holiday season!

I Love traditions especially Christmas ones, they are like a warm Hug!! Awww I love the Polar Express! that conductor is Awesome!! your pictures are Beautiful Kim, I love the way my American friends celebrate. We don't have many parades here at Christmas but lots of fireworks and Carols by candlelight. There is nothing better than a treasure trove of memories like this. xox ;)
