Morrison suggested that Parade of Lights wants it both ways - to capitalize on the festive Christmas holiday and its large crowds, but also to keep Christmas an unmentionable part of the season. Weird argument, given that the parade started out one block long, and has grown over the years to what it is today. Ten years ago they had to start holding it on the weekend because spectator traffic caused Denver to exceed EPA air quality regulations. Seems to me like the good reverend is the one who wants to capitalize on the "large crowds", not the other way around. From what I've read, the beginning of the parade is a "Reindeer Run," a race including both runners and walkers. So if the church group wants to walk that route prior to the parade, they may need to do so in numbered jerseys.
