I went to my very first Torontonian Santa Clause parade last weekend. Seriously, I have never seen that many children in Toronto before. I thought they didn't exist here. Thanks to my friend Chantelle, though, who brought a girl she babysits. We fit right in.
The differences between this parade and the Woodstock parade were many. Mostly, though, the clowns were scarier. I saw ones with piercings, without teeth, beer bellies, and little bits of white trash stuck to them. Well, I'm exaggerating with the last inference.
Despite the scary clowns, the parade was quite a spirit lifter and - presumably the whole point of the parade - a real kick in the butt to start my Christmas shopping. I already have two gifts bought!
