We took Da Chimpz to the town Christmas parade -- pretty cool. Cool, as in, bitter cold. It snowed most of the day so the setting is very "Charlie Brown Christmas," except without the depressing music (I still don't find the singing depressing in that holiday classic -- you people is crazy).

Anyway, the boys like the parade because they got candy. I, on the other hand, was distracted by thoughts of groceries.

I left the festivities a bit early: felt a need to warm my frozen hands, whistle a tune in the basement, call Spumoni South, and upload these videos. Besides, the parade just wasn't as good as Brooklyn's Diwali Parade we saw on local cable access a few years ago. (It's tough to live up to standards like that.)
