I would love to enjoy a boat parade. Debbie growing up on the TN river says a Christmas River boat parade is beautiful ... It's on my bucket list.

Kwee: I have never seen anything like this in person. I bet it was just beautiful. All those gorgeous boats all beautifully decorated. I wish I could have seen it.

Unless one has seen a boat parade you have no idea how much fun they are. Santa on deck.

Hi Kwee,

We do this at the beach too and it is fun to watch the boats cruise by with all the lights on them. I am sure it will be a big success. Take some pictures for us!

Kwee, this would DEFINITELY be an event I would have to attend, as our boats cannot be decorated here in December. The water is probably almost frozen! What a fun event!

Kwee,

What a beautiful photograph and I know it's even more beautiful in person. Sarasota and Venice is a great place to live and you're the perfect Realtor to call for anyone wanting to buy or sell in this area. There's lots to do and some great homes too!

This is great fun! I love seeing the Christmas boats. I'm sure the waters/weather are a tad warmer in your parts, then mine ;-) But, bundle up and enjoy no matter where!!

What a spectacular sight that must be! I would be there with my camera for sure. Even though we have water all around us here in Hawaii, the waters are not as calm and we don't have so many boats.
