We went to see the Holidazzle again last night. Claire and the kids took some friends to the airport, and unfortunately they needed to be there at 5pm, which isn’t the best time for the trip. So having left home shortly after 4, they didn’t get to me in downtown until 6:20. The original idea was just to pick me up (it being almost as quick to return home via downtown as going straight home), but as the Holidazzle was due to start in 10 minutes we improvised and adapted.

It turned out that our plan B was a good one. We went to the Target Pizza Hut that had windows facing out along the route, so we could watch the parade pass by while we were warm, liberally pizza’d, and safe from the loud noises that Lauren dislikes. As I’d been shopping while waiting for the family we even got ‘free’ parking. And of course we were very careful to wave to Santa, because it’s important to keep the jolly red-suited guy happy.
