A good time was had by all as usual in the Corrales Christmas parade last Sunday!  It is a yearly event hosted by the Village of Corrales and the local Marine Corp to benefit children who might have a less than Merry Christmas!  Its usually quite a show to see who can outdo who with their costumes and hanging red and green glittery things on their horses!  Then it is a show to see how the horses will put up with all this foolishness!  Kids and adults alike line the streets and hope that Saint Nick will come by and grant their every wish and hopefully have some candy to share as well!  It is quite a party and a great way to start the holiday season!

Corrales is located to the north and west of metropolitan Albuquerque.  It is a very horse friendly village and as such they are very tough on anyone exceeding their 30 mph speed limit!   Its a sleeply little village nestled next to the Rio Grande but don’t let that fool you there are many homes that exceed a million dollars!
