Scenes from Seal Beach Christmas Parade

Anyone who rides in a parade knows that the real show is the audience.

Here are just a few images from the Seal Beach Christmas Parade, the most joyful (if not the greatest) show in Orange County.

The Seal Beach Christmas Parade, the largest in the parade’s history, ended last night, Friday, Dec. 7, with a sense of delight floating in the chill December night air. Santa, having made his annual pilgramage to Seal Beach, immediately returned to his duties: preparing for his Christmas Eve delivery operation.
