Some will argue that the lighted boat parades have nothing to do with
Christmas, and some of the parade officials have taken the word out of the

Here is a list from BoatUS magazine for those interested.

Here are the winners from the 2007 Annapolis Christmas Lights Boat Parade.

Don't know if we'll make the 2008 parade, but I may put the boat in just to
go see it.

Awe, come on John! Make it as gaudy as you can, we'd all LOVE to see
the pics!

No, no. I didn't say I'd be *in* the parade! I'd just watch. From a
distance. Like...

"From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They're the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance."

Like that.
