A "Walking Dead" Christmas Extravaganza

On a starlit night in my town of 13,000 inhabitants in southwestern France...Santa Claus was replaced with Odysseus, his reindeer with the Trojan horse, and his elves, well, they were replaced with zombies. The children gasped in delight as the parade of entertainers made their way down the streets, an explosion of pyrotechnics and sound, to their final destination — a stage set near the local middle school.

Let the Festi'Noël begin...




Brains! Brains!

We're looking for brains!

I smell humans.

I may be smiling, but I'll still eat your brains!

"Ce n'est pas le Père Noël!"

I'm totally stumped about these guys, but it was pretty cool!

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky-i-i!



I have to give props to my town for arranging such a spectacle, though a bit bizarre. And I wish you all a very happy (and hopefully zombie-free) holiday season!

Gros bisous!

p.s. I'll see you in the new year...

My holidays are packed!!!! Are yours????

That is frightening. Were children crying??? Ha! That's certainly a holiday parade twist.

Hanukkah just ended. I can't believe I managed to get all the presents (mostly) on time! We'll be visiting the Christian side of the family during the break, so round 2 soon begins.

Happy Christmas and New Year!

Hi Samantha,

What a bizarre spectacle indeed! Ah zombies performing before a live audience....

Oh behalf of my human, Gary, yes the human I so kindly allow to live with me, we are wishing you a most peaceful, pleasant festive season. Thank you for the card and your kind interaction.

Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! xx

Wow. That looks like fun... but hard to make the Christmas connection. In the Netherlands it was always Sinterklaas-- very Father-Christmasy on a white horse.
Thanks for the lovely card and have a wonderful holiday. I'm going to be relaxing with friends and family in CT and I just can't wait!

I'm feeling sorry for myself. I'm working nights starting on Christmas Eve right through to the 28th. So I just can't generate any feeling of festiveness this year.

I haven't seen that show yet. I guess I should put it on my list and check it out.
