Here's Santa in Nettleton's parade Dec. 1. I think it's a requirement for Santa to be a good candy thrower, but he nailed me a few times with peppermints as I was walking next to his sleigh.
Santa didn't have far to go for his next parade. Tuesday night, he was parading a few miles to the west in Shannon. Santa uses his overhand motion to throw candy in Shannon, as opposed to his pitchout motion in Nettleton.
Thursday night, Santa was riding through the streets of Baldwyn. As for why his hand is partially over his face, either he's waving or trying to shield his face to keep me from taking his picture.
There were two Santas in the Reed's Tupelo Christmas parade Saturday morning. I believe this Santa, who was walking behind the Itawamba Community College band, is one of the real Santa's helpers or a Santa-In-Training.
Here's Santa in his familiar spot - in his sleigh at the end of the Tupelo parade. It was the start of a long day for him.
Saturday afternoon, Santa cruised over to Sherman for that town's parade. He also brought along a helper to assist him with the candy throwing.
Saturday evening, Santa wrapped up his busy day in Guntown. And look who came along with him - Mrs. Claus. While Santa was in Tupelo and Sherman, Mrs. Claus was busy gathering more candy for the good boys and girls along the parade route.
And as you can see, Mrs. Claus can throw candy just as good as Santa.
Santa, however, didn't ride in Saltillo's parade Tuesday night. The parade was canceled because of bad weather, and it will not be rescheduled. Santa promises he'll be at next year's Saltillo parade. Rumor has it that Santa wound up at the Carrie Underwood/Little Big Town concert at BancorpSouth Arena. One of his helpers had an extra ticket.
Weather permitting, Santa will be in Verona Thursday night and in Plantersville Saturday morning. Santa photos from those parades will be posted this weekend.
