History of Lucedale’s Annual Christmas Parade
SUMMARY: The Lucedale Christmas Parade, a much-anticipated annual event, has been delighting the community since 1955, with Santa Claus as the centerpiece. The first parade featured 14 themed floats, including ones inspired by Mother Goose characters, sponsored by local clubs and organizations. Originally, in 1950, Santa would arrive escorted by the sheriff and high school band. The parade has evolved, with the Jaycees and later the Rotary Club taking over as sponsors, and the addition of a Grand Marshal started in 1990. The parade now boasts over 70 entries and is considered one of South Mississippi’s best, with this year’s Grand Marshals being the state champion high school girls’ softball team.

SUMMARY: For 50 years, I’ve been making homemade eggnog, which offers a unique flavor compared to store-bought versions. The recipe origins trace back to recreating my grandfather’s favorite drink, nourishing him in his final days. This annual family tradition, filled with laughter and storytelling, is cherished. I serve eggnog without added liquor, preferring to keep it sweet and creamy. Preparation involves heating milk and blending egg yolks with sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla, then folding in beaten egg whites for texture. Shared hot, garnished with nutmeg and cinnamon, it’s a delightful holiday treat to enjoy with loved ones. Happy Holidays!
