Loose Leaf Notes

While kids catch candy in mid-air.

This year’s Floyd Christmas Parade may have been themed “Small Town Unity,” but Grinches still got towed away.

This boy kept yelling at this Grinch, “I’m mad at you. I’m mad at you,” until the Grinch offered him a peace offering.

Show me that smile.

You can’t keep the gnomes home when there’s a Christmas Parade.

There were lots of redheads

Clowns in town

And a Santa without a sleigh.

Speaking of Santa, The real deal Santa and Mrs. Claus are well worth the wait. They close out the parade to hoops, hollers and cheers.

It’s still okay to believe in Santa at Christmas and to keep praying for Peace on Earth.  – Look for another Christmas parade photo spread in this week’s Floyd Press.
