I think its a fun time for families to bring their children into downtown and enjoy some fun entertainment, while hopefully creating a little economic stimulation.
On a side note I would be much more likely to attend if more/any vendors sold hot booze.

I am sick and tired of buzzkills like Sweven Volant, who keep trying to push Jesus into the Christmas holday celebrations. Who would want to see Glowing Judus in the Holidazzle? What next? Megawatt Mary? Jumping Joseph and his trampoline review?
Give me my Christmas Aligator and leave me celebrate Holidazzle the traditional way, with White Cats and Giant Walkng DeRusha Light Bulbs, you haters!

So ladies and gentleman I ask you this is Sweven actually Vlado?
