Montreal
Santa Claus Parade

 

What a world of merriment the Santa Claus parade foretells!

For you Virtual Tourists and Net Surfers all over the world, we have taped the recently concluded Montreal Santa Claus Parade. Since this event is broadcast internationally via internet we have added live footages the many ways the phrase "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" is being said in many different languages.

From as far south as the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada and farthest west to Mainland China and farthest east to Israel, the message reverberates, LOVE is the language that binds us together. What better ways and times to celebrate this as the Christmas season begins.

We were able to capture on tape the sincerity, the innocence and open heart of those young faces that look beyond, and the delightful voices that musically swell like an unsung Christmas carols as they greet us.

Thanks to all those who gave us these live interviews: Santa Claus, Annie Brocoli who plays as the Star Fairy for all the children and those who helped me taped and arranged time slots to meet them.  Wherever they are, along the streets, stores, hospitals, nursing homes, offices they poured their hearts out to bring the message of peace and love to all mankind.

Kudos and thanks to the following who made this Santa Claus Parade video clip a reality:
