Harrisburg Cancels Christmas Parade! Other Cities Should Do The Same!
"Officials in Harrisburg have canceled the city`s annual holiday parade because organizers haven`t raised enough money."
NBC.Philadelphia.Com
Harrisburg requires special events to pay for themselves, and in these tough economic times very few folks have money to pay for a parade.

I hope that more municipalities will follow the fine example of Harrisburg and require organizers of holiday parades to pay for the cost of the parade themselves. The government shouldn`t be subsidizing religious events, even though it`s Santa riding on a float and not Jesus, it`s still nominaly a Christian event.
If a city pays for a Christmas parade, it should also pay for a Passover parade, and a Kwanzaa parade. Let`s nip this foolishness in the bud, and ban holiday parades.
We don`t need a city sanctioned Christmas parade to get into the holiday spirit. Enough already, it`s not even Halloween yet, and you can`t walk a block downtown without seeing Christmas decorations.
Will somebody please organize a parade celebrating the spirit of Scrooge?
