christmas parade




have you ever wondered why you do something that you don't enjoy, but continue to do it every year? this is the case with the local christmas parade. we bring the kids every year along with every other family in lagrange down to the square to watch countless high school bands, cars with kids, and flat bed trucks carrying loads of people waving. it is SO long waiting for santa's arrival in the fire truck. we even quilted the lingenfelters into going this year. telling them that when you live in lagrange, you have to bring your kids to the christmas parade. last night i was thinking why do we go every year and why we are we giving the lingenfelters such a hard time...the reason is that we do it because our parents did it, even though they didn't enjoy it either. i think that we are trying to do the same things our parents did so our kids can have the same experiences growing up as we did.

I think next year the neighborhood gang needs to have a float! Too bad there weren't any dancing trees this year!
