Custom #14: Christmas Parades
The Santa Claus parade is a tradition that has occurred in North America for many years. Similar to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade already mentioned on this blog, the Christmas parade marks the beginning of the Christmas holiday season.
The Toronto Santa Claus parade has made its way through the streets of downtown Toronto since 1905 and is the longest running children's parade in the world. It is also the overall largest parade in the world!! Parade floats include nursery rhyme characters, marching bands, clowns, and of course the last and most exciting float, Santa and his reindeer!!!!
