Why Would You?

Why would anyone want to sit out in the freezing cold for 30 minutes BEFORE the parade
started?

to play around with close friends . . .

to catch up . . .

to just sit and take it easy.

Why would anyone want to go to a small town parade full of tractors dressed in Christmas lights,

convertible after convertible of small town queens,

and all the low rider trucks decked out to nines one can take?

to see little ones get excited about just being cuddled under blankets . . .

to see this little one see the parade for the first time he can remember . . .

to hear this one yell, "Merry Christmas" to every one who went by and 

to hear him declare this "the bestest parade EVER!" . . .

to see this one break down to all the different kind of music that went by us . . . .

(Whose child IS he, really?)

to see this one love all the wonders that went by . . .


and to see this one interact with young ones helping them to embrace the holiday season. . . .

to just sit back and relax before the craziness that is the season really hits . . . 

for Mommas to sit and hold their babies - no matter how big or small . . . .

I think the real question is . . . .

Why wouldn't you?
