      GUESS WHO'S COMING TO TOWN!

   This probably seems like a slam dunk to
most of you! From the weekend before
Thanksgiving till the holiday itself people
throughout the country will be waiting at
curbside to watch the parade pass them by.
It's the one time when that's OK.
     Marching bands, colorful floats, and, in
some cases, huge balloons will welcome
the Holiday season. And most of those
parades are either named for or feature
the "big guy from the North Pole!"
      Santa will be in both Wilkes-Barre
and Scranton today and probably in a lot
of other towns and cities too.
      The "Thanksgiving" or "Santa Parades"
have been around for many years. They're
so expected that I was a bit surprised to
find that the 72nd annual "Mother Goose
Parade" will be taking place in the San
Diego area of California.
       Now to be clear, Santa will show up
there too. But the theme remains "Mother
Goose."  I realize she's been around pretty
much as long as Santa but, personally, I'd
hate to give him second billing a month
before he comes back bearing gifts!
        Mother Goose has some great  stories
but I think Saint Nick would still be the
star of my parade!
         Hope you enjoy a parade this week
whatever it's called and that all your NEWS
is good!
