Every year, Santa and his reindeer come to Oldham town centre, bringing a parade of festive characters and music with him. It's one of the things I most look forward to during the run up to Christmas!
We go to the parade every year and we've had snow (which was nice as it added to the festive atmosphere), pouring rain and thunder. This year, although it had been quite rainy beforehand, it stopped in time for the parade. The town centre was packed with families waiting to see the big guy and his reindeer.
This year there was a Christmas film theme, as well as different bands to entertain the crowds.
Festive characters, snow and characters from the local panto also added to the Christmassy atmosphere.
And then of course we had Santa and his reindeer 😊
It's lovely to see so many families gathered together for the parade and although we haven't had the Coke advert yet, the festive season has definitely begun for me!
It seems far too early for anything Christmasy – but I do like reindeer.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those annoying people who get excited for Christmas as soon as Halloween is over! ;)
