I mean, it's a bit exaggerated. I really don't think that "the whole culture surrounding having kids" is pathetic. I just think that the aspect of "over-consumption" is pathetic, and that actually doesn't have anything to do with having kids or not. I know of tons of childless people and couples that go all out on their TVs and whatever else they can swipe their credit cards for. WOW, that’s a bit of a rough comment there.

Imagine, no parents, no parades, no kids!!! Now that's what this enlightened society really needs - ahhhh can't you hear the peaceful silence now? all the single people, enjoying the city all to themselves.... getting old....breaking down.... uh oh!! i'm old and single and there's no doctor to take care of me, no nurse, no seniors home, no one to wait the tables at my cafe, no one to cook at my restaurant, no one to change my diaper..... SANTA - (the one I dreamed of as a kid) save me, saaaaavveee me!!!! ahhhh parents suck don’t they? the whole culture surrounding having kids, soooooooo pathetic! why don’t they just realize that the secret to life is not to procreate but to just stay relatively single and more importantly barren? you know the city would be a much better place without them, blocking the $%^&*! sidewalks and shopping venues with their big strollers, brimming over with…. stuff.

I didn't think about the fact that it will (probably) be damn cold in December. I guess it does explain a bit why the parade is so early. But I still maintain that it is also good for business, to kick-start the Christmas shopping season early, get some of that consumer-blood flowing in people. And actually, there really isn't anything wrong with that. As long as you know it. Yes, good point. I didn’t think about the fact that it will (probably) be damn cold in December.

A November date means that more families will be able to stay outside for the parade. It also makes it easier for the kids who are in the parade. As a business owner, we get too busy in December to participate in the parade. The early date for the parade date may not guarantee better weather, but it’s only going to get colder.
