Santa Parade, good game for big kids!

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛The magnificent Santa Claus Parade attracts hundreds and thousands Toronto residents including our parents and children. This morning we meet 8 families with 9 kids together (aged from 2 to 12 years) in the square of Fairview mall. In our previous events the small kids were dominant, but not today. Today the big kids consist of the main stream.

When everybody was heading to the parade, the subway was filled with people. As you could imagine, it’s not easy for us to find space for the whole group, but our group handled the situation very well. Our big kids also played a role as leaders. With our big kids’s suggestion, we moved from the head to the back of the train and easily got in the train. We all took the same train, it did create an environment to let our parents and kids know each other.

We arrived at Christie subway station before the parade starting. Our parents grasped the chance to take pictures when the bands are doing the final drill. After that, we divided into two groups. Our big kids run after the parade and our little guys took the subway back to Queen’s park.

The parade is glorious. Most of the performers are children. They are elegant. While you enjoyed the happiness, you may feel that very few faces are from visible minority in spite of more than 50% Toronto residents are immigrants. I always ask me the question, how could our kids get in?

Santa Claus Parade belongs to kids including ours, especially big kids. It becomes the most popular event in Toronto. It’s the best place to show our children.

    • 1)队与队相比不够别致,服装太雷同 2)一定要有乐队吹奏才有气势、才象样 3)竟看到了五星红旗!
    • 圣诞花车游行, 大孩子们的节日 (又是高兴怎么翻就怎么翻的“译文”。。。)
      神奇的圣诞老人花车大游行吸引了成千上万的多伦多人, 当然少不了咱们这些期待已久的大大,大,小孩子 (家长就是那大大孩子)。 今天早上我们有8个家庭, 共9个孩子 (年龄从2岁到12岁), 聚集到了fairview mall的广场。 我们前几次活动都以六岁以下的“小”孩子为主, 今天不同, 今天的主流是“大”孩子。

      去看游行的人很多, 地铁人满为患。 可以想象, 要找到整队人都待得下的地儿可真不容易; 不过依着“大”孩子们的指示, 我们走去最后几节车厢, 居然全都上了同一趟车!地铁飞驰,家长和孩子们借机互相认识。

      游行开始之前, 我们就到了Christie 地铁站。乐队在进行最后的练习, 家长们抓紧时间拍照。 然后我们分成两拨, 大孩子们追着游行队伍走, 小孩子们则乘地铁返回Queen’s park.

      游行妙极了, 大部分参与者是孩子。 他们表现得很优秀。 欢笑中, 人们也许会留意到, 在多伦多这个移民人口高达50%以上的城市, 游行队伍中的有色人种竟然十分稀少。 我不禁想问,怎样才能让 我们的孩子也参与进去呢?

      圣诞花车大游行属於所有的孩子, 这其中当然也包括我们的宝贝们。 这个活动 如今在多伦多已经家喻户晓, 正是显摆我们PP宝宝的好去处啊。 (爸爸妈妈们还不上?)
    • 强啊. 还是中英文对照的. 看来在这儿的孩子都起码是两文三语了.
