Day Eight: Share a local Christmas tradition in your town or country.

I moved to my current town about four years ago and I don’t know too many things that they have going on for Christmas. I know at the beach they have a parade called the Candy Cane Parade. I live pretty much walking distance to the beach and this beach has a little strip of bars and restaurants and then across the little strip is the actual sand and ocean. Every year they have this parade on the strip, which is always cool.

There are tons of Christmas floats, decorated cars, marching bands, etc. Of course at the end of the parade comes Santa! Everyone that is participating in the parade throws out candy canes for all the kids to collect. Who doesn’t love candy canes!? 😀 It’s always fun seeing all the deocrated cars and floats. It’s always so colorful and it’s awesome that it’s right on the beach. I’ve gone a couple times to the parade and enjoyed it the times I’ve gone.

What is a Christmas tradition in your town?

So stoked that it’s almost the weekend! I am off to stay with my cousin tonight and Saturday is the family Christmas party! Some family from Illinois came down, so there will be even more people than last year! Sorry for the lack of bookish posts. I promise to get back into those soon! It’s been a crazy month for me. December usually always is, especially at my work and the fact that I have been so stressed out over Christmas this year! I haven’t been reading as much as I hoped I would. I will hoping finish two books from my TBR before the month ends though.

I hope you have a great Friday! ❤
