We’ve decided that Santa Parade is one of our most favourite things to do here. For the uninitiated, Farmers is a big department store here and every year they sponsor a huge parade of floats and marching and giant inflatables through the middle of Auckland. Families line the route, the sensible ones (including us this year, haha ) have their own camping chairs.
