Well, that's the first time I've ever seen a Santa Elephant! :eek:
Looks like a fun time, the animals all look so festive.

That looks like a fun parade, it doesn't look to crowded so it looks like everyone was actually able to enjoy watching it! I liked the little reindeer, they are so cute!

Wow! Never seen a Elephant Elf!!!!!! Wow! Thanks for sharing! Great pictures, the camel, the draft horse - wow!

What cool pictures! It looks like a very fun parade. Thanks for sharing. :)

Elephant, Reindeer and Camels?! Oh my! :D What a neat parade, thanks for sharing these!!

It's so nice to see the Stable in the parade. :) Many these days don't recognize it - or anything religious about Christmas anymore because of all the huff puff people who were not Christian did about it.

I'm also glad Walmart's in the US are back to saying Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. :)

Great pictures.

Wow, I love a Parade!!

I've never, ever seen an elephant dressed up in a Santa Claus suit before!!!
I'm so glad the weather cooperated so everyone could attend and enjoy the festivities. I really would have enjoyed hearing the bag pipes too!!!

All of your pictures were great to see~ Thank-You for sharing them with us.

How nice! I haven't been to a parade in years. I love your church float, it's so nice to see the True meaning of Christmas still represented!!! ;)

The camel and reindeer were so neat to see!!! Thanks for sharing your nice day with us.

That is the fattest Santa Clause I've ever seen! And what a long nose! :D ;)
