The sweet jolly old man has gone from the symbol of joy and happiness, to be the evil judge of goodness that has in recent years has never cut any kid off that I know of. Face it people you don&#8217;t really need it! Hasn&#8217;t our generation learned yet from Disney&#8217;s The Little Mermaid that things don&#8217;t matter as much as experiences.

Believe it or not the Santa Claus Parade is one my my favourite shows to work on each year. I also like seeing whatg is new each year and really enjoy coming home later to actually watch it. As a bonus for my readers I have the float list for this year&#8217;s parade.

In addition, the float list was only available late on Friday afternoon. Three hours before the parade was to begin, we headed down the hill to set up the equipment. On arrival, we realized the taped introduction had the old TVNB logo and Parade 2001 on it. It was determined that we could just cover it up with graphics, but at about the time the parade was about to starting to come down the hill the tape got jammed in the machine and I had about 2 minutes to come up with an alternative.
