2 Santa Claus dolls and Christmas decorations display

I would like to describe my experience of watching the latest Santa Claus Parade in the city of Pembroke.

On November 30th we went to watch a beautiful Christmas attraction of Santa Claus Parade. The show began at 5:30 pm. It was quite good weather for this time period to stay warm, especially having the hot drinks in our hands. When the show started, we were able to see a huge number of participants, large trucks and bright Christmas decorations on them. The show was full of various Christmas characters. Everything was shiny and bright around.

The downside of this parade is understanding the true goals of why people are making this show. Most of the participants are local business owners. They decorated cars and trucks with business banners, and they were handing out candy to children with business cards on them. It is just a GREAT way to advertise the business to locals, but it felt like a little bit of pressure. However, everything was a true joy for every kid standing and watching it.
