First Sight of HoHo this Season

Saturday morning we bundled up and headed down to Kitchener for the KW Santa Clause parade. Listowel's is this coming weekend, but unfortunately it is on Saturday evening and it is also Curt's Christmas party so we will not be able to take Jaxon to see it. He will be going with his aunty Wawa and uncle Ju instead.
It was a cold day on Saturday, so we took our mittens and hats and scarfs and headed out to see the big guy in red. Jaxon was ok with going to see him, but he insisted that he was not sitting on his knee. That was fine with time around being as we were just going to see him in the parade.The parade started at 10am, so we were there nice and early. We did not take a blanket or chairs because we thought it would probably only be about 1/2 an hour or so, and we would be able to stand for that. Well, 1hour and 45min later Santa finally made his way past us!!!! After the parade we decided that we might had to the mall to maybe do a little Christmas shopping, but that did not get done. I really have not been in the mood to get my Christmas shopping even started this year, which is very much unlike me. This week I have been making a list, and I guess I better start to get some of it crossed off, because by the way the crowds were in the mall on Saturday, I do not want to have to go there in December and try to fight them any more then we did on Saturday.

Let the Christmas season begin!!!
