Mount Albert, one of East Gwillimbury's villages, has tons of community spirit. Mount Albert's Santa Claus parade is an annual tradition and no one messes with it
Starting in the upper left-hand corner of the collage, here are some of this year's participants :
1. beautiful angels dressed in gold
2. the local Shriners and their choo-choo on wheels
3. a creche complete with angels, shepherds and wise men
4. Thomas! (Ha! More than one kid was more excited about Thomas than Santa!)
5. The local Legion and some pipers (Bare knees! Are they crazy?)
6. And Himself, the guy the Santa Claus parade is named after

It seems to be cold wearing a kilt at this time of the year...
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I love a parade. Looks pretty chilly out there though.
ReplyDeleteSome Christmas time bouquet. Thomas the locomotive, haven't seen him for years.
ReplyDeleteI have a weak spot for the Scots. They are true toughies.
Wouldn't want to mess with them or their kilts.

Wow, what a great event. And you photos are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a funfilled parade! We don't have anything like these North American/Canadian parades, instead we do have our Christmas fairs:)
ReplyDeleteI like the locomotive bus in red, but really like the red shown in the maple Leaf and the kilts in the red tartan while playing the 'pipes. And always a pleasure to see Santa. Of course, if Santa is real, how could he be in Ontario one day and in Ansonia, CT when I saw him yesterday? A jet powered sled? Just wondering...
ReplyDeleteSNAP! I posted Santa Claus Parade pice too!
ReplyDeleteI love the SC Parade, it is a terrific kick-off to the Christmas season.
Great pictures! I wish I could get excited at Christmas like I used to.
ReplyDeleteGood holiday ruby's shots!
ReplyDeleteAbout your world: next weekend we will place our Christmas Tree but not a real one. My wife always was sad that each year our tree 'died'.
ReplyDeleteNice parade and tradition,was waiting for this sort of posts at the other countries. No parades in Belgium but a lot of Christmas markets.
More photos of your wonderful parade - great ones too! Looks like a great tradition.
ReplyDeleteI smiled when I saw Thomas. So many memories with my kids and nephews.
Such a great parade of ruby red! Beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteFun-looking parade. We don't have anything like this over here!
ReplyDeleteI love parades and what better than one with Santa. Super pic of the old fella by the way.
ReplyDeleteWith Christmas comming up, it's ruby everywhere ...
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics as usual. Great collage. B
ReplyDeleteI love the shriners and their choo-choo :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you arrange the photos
This is a wonderful post! Love the feeling it gives just looking at the collage.
ReplyDeleteLike the collage, and the way you keep the biggest place for Santa, he deserves it... Dear Santa, don't forget us!
ReplyDeleteLooks cold but like great fun...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of rubies!! I love each and everyone of them!
ReplyDeleteI tend to steer clear of parades because of the crowds. I can't believe I've never ever been to our Hollywood Christmas parade. These photos make me wish I had.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous Kerri. So much red. I love parades summer or anytime.
ReplyDeleteHappy RT.
What a fun parade! The others are right, though, it looks awfully chilly.
ReplyDeleteThe cold really makes that red extra bright. :D
ReplyDeleteI hope none of those guys in kilts die of pnuemonia- we'd have to say he got kilt with a cold...
ReplyDeleteI am a day late with Ruby Tuesday, on time with Wordless Wednesday and a bit ahead with Sepia Scenes as I cheated and did a
Triple Whammy this week.
