I just saw the great photos of Christmas parades in the paper issue of this week's Guardian. To those who are asking why Hampton does not have a parade, keep in mind that the Town of Hampton is not the only town in the county. Why not attend the Christmas parades in the other towns and while there for the visit, spend a little money? I'm sure the towns would appreciate it.  Volunteer work comes from the heart and usually the volunteers have to spend their own money to make things happen. Santa's helpers, I'm sure, would appreciate your attendance.  I wish you all a happy Holiday Season and a very Merry Christmas.
