To the Editor:

It was quite a whirlwind weekend, buying supplies, decorating the vehicle, and then waiting for and finally walking in the Ship Bottom Christmas Parade. And afterward was the dismantling of our creation.

This is a laborious project. Kudos to all participants who spent their time, energy and money to keep up this fun-filled event for the past 39 years.

I have only been involved in the parade for the last three years, and I have looked forward to early December on LBI.
