Fire engines stream down Main St. at the beginning of Lexington's annual Christmas parade.
Freezing your toes off, apparently, is part of the fun.

A picture a day of the town of Lexington, Virginia
Beautiful Lexington, Virginia:
A town of 7,000 in the Shenandoah Valley -- home to Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute; resting place of Civil War generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson; and at the center of one of the prettiest counties in Virginia: Rockbridge County.

LOL, well I'm glad ours was during the day. We did end up going and I'm happy we did. Did your son have fun in the parade?
Nice photo :)
Those trucks are so "american"!!!
I was impressed by your kind comment on my blog, thank you!!
Very nice shot of your parade. I remember many a parade in OH for the 'freezing toes off' part. (We haven't had the first frost here yet!)
My son had a good time (despite frozen fingers), but these events are not quite my cup of tea -- I would rather have had a hot cup of tea!
Valeria -- The trucks are a very American twist, aren't they? What it all has to do with Christmas, I can't say.
Bright lights, parade and uniformed men, who could ask for more.
