Despite early morning rainfall This years PB Christmas parade went on as planned. Families were told on the Pacificbeach.org website that rain or shine the parade will go on as planned. They did not lie, but attendance and actual parade marchers were definitely down from recent years. The best part about the event this year was that there was no shortage of candy canes. All of my kids and nephews had their pockets stuffed with candy canes this year. The worst part of the parade this year for me personally was picking the wrong side of the street, we were on the shaded side. There was some relief when Starbucks employee's passed out peppermint mocha samples. I'm not a huge Starbucks fan but at that moment, the warm coffee was nice. Every time I go to the parade I can't help but remember marching in it for most of my youth. Between Soccer, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc. It was rare for me to watch the Parade from the sideline, if I was lucky I was early in the parade so I could watch the rest of it after we went through.
