Dedicated to Jane, my parade buddy…
-
- This weekend I dragged Frank to Auckland in search of Christmas Spirit .at their Farmer’s Santa Parade.
-
- Watching the kids before the parade was as entertaining as the parade itself.
-
- The streets were completely closed off all morning.
-
- This little girl really wanted to be part of the pre-parade show.
-
- This super hero was searching for bad guys when he spied a kindred spirit . . .
-
- With great power comes great responsibility.
-
- Who am I? I’m Spiderman.
-
- The parade begins!!!
-
- The big balloons are always my favorite.
-
- The wind made it hard at times for the handlers.
-
- This oompah loompah was so excited to be part of the parade . . .
-
- while this guy, well, not.
-
- Some of the floats shot off streamers.
-
- The true meaning of Christmas was represented.
-
- And what’s a parade without some zombies?!!
-
- or marching wizards!
-
- There was one marching band.
-
- For me, this photo epitomizes Christmas in New Zealand.
-
- Here comes Santa!!!!
-
- Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
