Patchogue Christmas Parade

November 27, 2010

I have attended many Christmas Parades in our home town of Patchogue NY, but this year I have seen an abundance of spirit that I never expected. In spite of the sluggish economy I believe that more people attended our "Christmas Parade 2010," than ever before. People were Fifteen deep along the sidewalk, viewing our parade. I estimate that there could have been Eight thousand people at our parade!

I was very surprised to see so many groups participate in our parade; fire departments, car clubs, small businesses and clubs. I always enjoy the local dance studios that have their students, which are our children and grandchildren, perform their dance routines for all to enjoy! This is very important for all; it is important for the youth and their friends and relatives to come to the realization that these young people have attained a balance in their lifestyle. Trouble starts when our youth identify with less than reputable groups and activities. If we do not provide our children with something to identify with, they will figure out something for themselves.

I always enjoy seeing the Tractors in our parade! Farmers and Tractors bring with them a connotation of what make our country great; "every day people who work hard for a living. There is a lesson to be learned from farmers; you can attain anything if you work hard enough!"

Then we have the Boy Scout, and Girl Scout. It is always inspirational to see our young people involved with activities that build character. A community of youth that have not been directed toward and nurtured by groups that mold character will find it easy to turn down the wrong road

*

The religious holidays of Christmas and Hanukah try to guide people down the correct path in life. We as a community must make every effort not to dilute that which creates a feeling of family, and a sense of community.

*

So! Patchogue Christmas Parade 2010 was a smashing success!

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukah!
