Christmas Locations, Part Four

 

With December well under way, the Christmas season is picking up steam in Second Life. And Gemma Cleanslate has been busy exploring more Christmas locations.  Tayren’s Holiday has a number of small shops to get things, or you can just admire the scenery. The man behind Never You Mind makes some cute people and creatures. Portland Maine has both decor for sale and great scenery. Last but hardly least was Macy's Christmas Parade with over seventy floats, which has a skating pond nearby if you want a change.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

 

One of the fun things to do on Thanksgiving Day is watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV. That is if you're able to watch television at the time. For those who can't, or just want to see it at their own time, DJ Frannie has brought the parade to Second Life. On a street in the Enchanted Isle sim, you can watch the floats go by, and even hop on one. But the region offers more than just the parade. There are other things to do.

Macy's Christmas Parade and The Christmas Expo

 

The Christmas season continues. Gemma took a short break from the shopping to check out a holiday parade. Macy's packed away the Thanksgiving floats, and brought out some Christmas ones for this month. Also, she checked out the big Relay event this month: The Christmas Expo. There one can check out music and dance events, contests, get their picture with Santa, and of course lots of shopping with the money going to a good cause.

Thanksgiving Parade

It's just a few days before Thanksgiving in the United States. While the holiday is best known for big turkey dinners among family or friends, it's also known for parades, especially the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City which is televised across the country. Recently Gemma Cleanslate found out about a tribute to the Macy's parade here in Second Life set up by Franny DJ Dean. So she paused her explorations of Christmas areas to take a look.

Gemma Cleanslate had a look at the parade, which has already started.
