			 There were 24 entries, which included a waving reindeer, Santa, 
			floats from several local businesses and fire trucks; all lit up and 
			looking festive. A veteran's group handed out stuffed animals to the 
			children enjoying the parade and of course there was plenty of candy 
			thrown to waiting children.  
			 
			After the parade, there was an open house at the New Holland Fire 
			Department with chili, vegetable soup, and hotdogs served.  
			 
			In the warmth, children had a chance to sit on Santa's lap and tell 
			him what they wanted for Christmas.
