I wonder when the word 'Christmas' got removed from the titles for all the boat Christmas parades.

At least the author wished all a Merry Christmas. Nice.

John, I've been searching the scriptures and I'll be darned if I can
find anywhere an admonishment to go forth and light up your boat.

Chuck is probably right about it being a pagan tradition but who
cares?

There's some boating stuff in there, but you're right - no lighting displays that I could find
either. Maybe the generators on the boats were insufficient to power the lights? Who knows.

I'll bet the Vikings put candles all over their boats to celebrate Christmas. That's probably where
the tradition started.

We had our local boat parade last Saturday, I don't know how it went.
I've had three reports first one said "there were 5 boats" I thought
that's lousy. The second person said "there were 10 boats", well, so,
so. The next person said there were 15 boats!
Eye witness's have problems, but they should be able to count!
I work on the marina, I was glad to leave before it all started.

Well Wayne. Jesus was known as the "Light of the World" and He did a lot of preaching from a boat....

LOL!

Yes, and there are some pretty good sea stories. One that I always
relate to is the one where Jesus and his disciples/fishing mates are
caught in a storm and chaos ensues until calm finally prevails.

Mark 4:35-41

Having weathered a few storms of similar ferocity it is easy to
appreciate the situation.

No mention of lighted boats however.
