In my part of the world, the days are getting shorter and colder.

It is just part of living in Canada.

This is also the time of year when cities and towns, big and small,
host a special kind of parade — the Santa Claus Parade.

And that is what my wife and I will be doing this evening!

We have a relative who has made a tradition of hosting a
Santa Claus Parade Party.

They live on the Main Street and the parade goes right past their
front door.

So many years ago, they decided to host a house party and invite
friends and family.

The highlight of this party is when it comes time for the parade,
we just go outside and cheer it on.

It is a wonderful tradition.

As we move into this Festive time of year, if there a family tradition
that you would like to share, please do so by leaving a comment below.

all the best,
