ne of my favorite memories of the holiday season while growing up in Ottawa, was the Christmas Parade. The smiling faces, the cups of hot chocolate and the loud horn of the fire truck. These are the sights and sounds that come to my mind when I think of the annual Christmas Parade.
I was always excited yet nervous when the fire trucks would go by. How cool is that big red fire truck I would say and then just about that time, the loud horn would honk. The local bands that march and play their music brought joy and smiles to the crowd. The end of the parade is always special, as Santa Clause would make his appearance. At the end of the parade, a walk down Main Street and stopping for lunch at one of the local eateries was a great end to a great time in downtown Ottawa!
