   Who is planning to bring the family out for the Caroling Caravan Christmas Light Parade this year? Saw the event schedule posted on Woodlands Online last week. My son wants to see the festive lights and hear the caroling. Looking for recommendations on the best spots along the route to set up lawn chairs. Where do y'all usually park and set up?

   We went out for this last year (my kids loved seeing all the Christmas light setups on the floats) and we ended up bringing camp chairs early. We usually try to park a couple blocks back so we do not get stuck in the traffic jam right when the caroling parade finishes up. It is a really fun neighborhood event (especially for the younger kids who get excited about the holiday carols).

   If you are bringing lawn chairs you need to arrive at least forty-five minutes before start time. People start staking out curb space early and parking nearby fills up fast. If you show up ten minutes before the parade starts you will be standing behind three rows of strollers.

   Thanks for the heads up on timing. Forty-five minutes early sounds reasonable. Is parking on the side streets allowed or do we need to stick to designated lots?

   Side street parking is usually fine as long as you keep clear of driveways and hydrants, friend! Bring a couple extra blankets along with those lawn chairs because it gets chilly once the sun goes down. My team of kids loves the holiday caroling and festive lights every single year!

   Hydrate. Then hydrate again.

   My wife and I saw the announcement on Woodlands Online too and we are planning to head over lol. It is our first time going to the Caroling Caravan so we were wondering about the setup spots too. Sounds like getting there early with lawn chairs is definitely the move.

   We have taken our grandkids out to watch Christmas light parades in the area for several years now. Setting up lawn chairs along the route early is the best advice anyone can give you. We usually pack a thermos of hot chocolate, pull up a pair of folding chairs, and let the kids sit on a blanket right up front. It brings back great memories of watching holiday parades when my own children were young, and the festive lights and caroling always put everyone in a good mood.

   Retired. My only deadline is tee time.
