Hampstead NH Holiday Parade...what a treat!

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty

Hampstead NH Santa ClauseYesterday, Dec 9 was the annual Hampstead NH Holiday Parade.

It was pretty cold outside and you could feel snow in the air but the Hampstead NH Christmas Parade went off without a hitch.

The streets were full of people, sounds of laughter and excitement were all around me and everyone wanted the same thing.

They wanted to see Santa Clause…even I got caught up in the excitement.

Something about seeing that big guy made feel like a little kid again. I had a great time so did all the people standing near me.

Hampstead does this every year...so start planning your float for next year.

I put together a little virtual tour of the parade for your enjoyment. I have no idea who little “Miss Christmas” is but she was oh so precious.

Hi Maurie and thanks for stopping by. Monika really enjoyed your grandaughter as she is a living doll. So cute and she is lucky to have great grandparents.

Monika, that little girl really gets into the spirit of the season ....... LOL

Just one thing though shouldn't this Parade be called the Christmas Parade in stead of the Holiday Parade :)

Monika, I love the little slide show you made! That would be my rosie red faced daughter.....She made it the whole way, being 3 I didn't think she would! Thanks for not getting me in the picture :) I was walking with her and I think when you took the picture she was getting tired! But she did a good job! Everyone's proud of her..she even made the Eagle Tribune hugging a little boy she goes to school with! :) Happy Holidays!! ~*Little Miss Christmas & Mom*~

George...You are so right I should have called it the Hampstead NH Christmas Parade and not the Holiday Parade..I've never been politically correct why start now...right :) 

Marissa....Thanks so much for stopping by and your little girl is so cute. She made my day watching her.

She was actually flipping that white fluffy ball...or maybe it was a muff in the air...which is why her arms were raised up like that. The muff flew over her head...it was funny.  She is precious and I can understand why you all are so proud of Little Miss Christmas... I just love that name :)

I also knew she had to be my 1st picture on that slide show...she made the whole show!

Thanks so much and Merry Christmas

Hey Monika - I like that kind of floor time!!  ;-)

Little Miss Christmas is as sweet looking as she can be, and how cool that he family stopped by your post and left comments for you!  Love your show - thanks for sharing that bit of Christmas spirit.

Monika, Lovely pictures of people having fun. I not been to a parade since my kids turned into big kids and moved away. Maybe it's time for my hubby Steve and I to back into the community spirit! Got your name from Brad Andersohn's blog. I work with him here in California. I also am a teacher. Happy Holidays-Welcome to my World! Diana

That looked like it was a good time even if it was a bit too cold. But that's the winter for you. I'm sorry to tell you that we are having a slight cold front..only in the mid 80's here:)
