Community Spirit

12/1/2012

Today is the first day of December.  It was also the day for the annual Santa Claus parade of lights in Glace Bay.  George and I actually got a chance to go and see the parade.  Being at the parade caused a flood of memories in my mind of taking both girls to the parade when they were younger.  It was absolutely a great time today, as well as it was a great time many years ago.

The amazing and wonderful thing about parades is that they bring communities together.  It is a time when families get together and share a common bond.  Although tonight it was freezing, everyone stood out there watching and anticipating for the "big" guy to come around;  when he did, all the kids were super excited.

Community spirit is something that defines what type of people live in a community.  How people interact with one another and how they gather not only grows a community but it shows a very valuable lesson to your children.  Going to community events demonstrates to your kids that you respect the people in your community, and that you are a valuable person in society.  It shows your kids how much other people value and respect their community and it shows the giving nature of those people.  A bond.  A bond among friends.  A bond among neighbours.  A bond among towns.  

So, with all that being said, my happy today is the community spirit shown tonight in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.  Well done!

:o)  Ho! Ho! Ho!
