Everybody loves a parade. Sera and I certainly do. We were at two of them, though we only caught the tail end of the Edgewater Christmas Parade and we took in the entire Oak Hill Christmas Parade, all 9 1/2 minutes of it.
Of course, the previous weekend we covered the New Smyrna Beach Christmas Parade and the week before that the lighting of the Christmas Tree on Canal Street.
Christmas pageantry is certainly a part of the fabric of Southeast Volusia as it should be, even in these tough economic times.
