The 12 Days of Christmas start on Christmas Day and last until the evening of the 5th January

Starlight parade in 2006 in Sakon Nakhon Tha Rae Christmas in 2009   Recovering from an injury, had to decline a number of offers to go to Tha Rae. Hoping that I will have recovered enough to see the football game tomorrow evening The first year I saw the starlight parade I noticed none of the parade participants were passing out candy.The following year, the year MACRO opened here in town, I bought five large bags of candy. We timed it at an intersection, merged our vehicle into the parade, and began throwing candy. Unfortunately, Santa's helpers were a bit too eager throwing candy at onlookers.  Within three blocks, Santa's candy bag was empty. The next year I bought a sh.t load of candy and we parked near the parade starting point.  As the parade was about to get underway, a Sakon Nakhon man in brown (policeman) immediately nixed our plan to merge into the parade.Of all things, the officer confiscated all candy and escorted us to his police truck. There we were introduced to his nieces and nephews.  With emergency lights flashing, we were now in the lead vehicle of the parade. A dozen hands throwing candy at onlookers.A few of my Thai friends were a bit surprised to see me standing in the lead vehicle
