The first week of December we took in the annual Tupelo Christmas Parade. We started with dinner at the Amsterdam cafe. Pretty good but a little spicy! Then we staked out our viewing post at a picnic bench and waited for the parade. Lots and lots of people came out for this and it was a long parade. We stayed for about an hour of it and it wasn’t quite done yet. So we missed Santa…but look!!!
The highlight for me was an actual Elvis sighting…there he was in all his glory, waving and singing to the crowd. But then I am also a fan of all the obscure “Elvis Lives” documentaries , my favorite being the one that has him alive and well, living in California complete with a pink caddy!
There were also lots of cool floats, 4 or 5 marching bands and even decorated 18 wheelers. Quite the parade it was!
Yes there were flames shooting out of the top of this one. WOW
It was a little on the chilly side which is why we didn’t wait for the end. Our temps have been up and down and all over the place. Yesterday was close to 70 and today…well, the last time I looked out we were getting a little snow. We are in northern Mississippi after all, guess we should have gone farther south!
We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! Keep warm and think happy thoughts!
Oh, I so hope you get some snow so you can have a white Christmas! Quite a parade there….are there lots of open houses and such for the holidays? I skip them anymore around here.
How fun 😁 enjoy your shares seems like a great place
