Time to get in the holiday spirit in Tennessee with Christmas parades scheduled almost every weekend day (and night) in the coming two weeks. I know this because my daughter the baton twirling queen will be in most of them. What does it mean for me? I get to be in them as well as I balance driving a swanky convertible with tossing candy to spectators (never aim for the head) and reminding the queens to remember their regal wave.

I don’t know what’s more fun - hearing people comment on my awesome convertible (which I totally pretend to be mine whether it’s a Mustang, Smart car, or a Volkswagen Beetle) or listening to the teen boys say, “Hey! Wanna go out with me?” and the little girls saying, “Look! They’re so pretty!” It’s just so much fun!

If you want to join in the fun, here are some dates, places, and times (asterisks show parades my daughter and her twirling group will attend):
