Hey Guys, it’s Brett from the Online-LED-Store. It’s that time of the year again. We’re here at the annual Ho Ho Parade taking place in the city of San Bernardino.

This parade first began in the 1950’s and has been bringing joy and happiness to the people for more than half of a century. Back in 2013, the parade came across some hardships due to the city’s budget cuts, however, a group of volunteers were determined in keeping this tradition alive. After working diligently with the local police department, this group of volunteers were able to acquire permission for hosting this annual parade.

In this year’s parade, about 40 fully decorated classic cars will be featured over a course of 2 hours all throughout the city. Gifts will be passed out to the kids at the starting and ending points of the route. And with four parades planned for this year, everyone in the city of San Bernardino is going to be delighted by the festive music and wonderful lights.

Let us all be thankful to the selflessness of the volunteers and hope this parade gets bigger and better every year to come. Enjoy the show and Merry Christmas!

[You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight]

Hello everybody, we’d like to thank you guys for coming on out today and we want to wish you a Merry Christmas from my family to yours. We hope you guys enjoy the Winter Wonderland and the Ho Ho Parade is coming to a town near you. Merry Christmas.

[Then how all the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer
You'll go down in history]
[Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that
old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
he began to dance around
Oh

Frosty the snowman
was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh
and play just the same as you and me

But he waved goodbye saying
Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day

thumpity thump thump
thumpity thump thump
Look at Frosty go
thumpity thump thump
thumpity thump thump
Over the hills of snow]
