You honestly believe this?

You believe Waukesha Wisconsin has Christmas parades... before Thanksgiving???

I live an hour away, they do it every year. That particular parade is some kind of Catholic event. They pretty much ignore Thanksgiving (Columbus was also Catholic and they prefer not to draw attention to him) and they go right to Christmas instead. Same as in the UK.

You'll have to forgive me for not believing you coincidentally live an hour away.

Do you have any sources to confirm they have the parade every year before Thanksgiving?

Forgive you for not believing that I live in Bumfuck, Middle-of-Nowhere, American Midwest? I'm just tickled that for once people are skeptical about it. For the longest time, people just said, "Oh... and that is... where, exactly?" All of a sudden nobody believes me, it's hilarious.

Indeed I do. In a regional newspaper they mention that it is annual, but they held it earlier this year anticipating that the winter might involve lockdowns. I'm not going to dox myself by sharing a pic of it to satiate the curiosity of a rando on Saiddit who has already decided that he isn't going to believe anyone but himself, though.

You can't find a link to previous years parades?

It's a local physical newspaper. They don't publish the entire thing online. But I totally want to dox myself for some guy who has already made up his mind.
