It's Christmas time in Navarre

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style, it's Christmas time in Navarre.

December 1, 2012, Saturday, come one come all to Navarre's Chamber of Commerce for the Jingle Bell Fest taking place all afternoon.

From 1 to 6 p.m. the Chamber will host the Jingle Marketplace where locals can come and browse for stocking stuffers. Also, from 3 to 6 p.m., get the photo you will need for your Christmas cards by having your picture taken with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

At 2:30 p.m. plan for Navarre's Annual Christmas parade that will begin by McDonald's and will weave and wind its way through neighborhood streets until it reaches the American Legion Hall.

Then in Navarre Park at 6 p.m. the annual lighting of the tree will commence.

It is a time to come and participate in the community and see neighbors. For visitors in Navarre, enjoy a taste of Christmas along the Gulf.

Some come out and enjoy -  Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile... It's Christmastime in Navarre.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving…

As Thanksgiving is a day set aside by our Founding Fathers, here is the proclamation given by our First President to the nation regarding the establishment of our national holiday.

 

From our First President of the United States – George Washington, from his Thanksgiving Proclamation:

“Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interposition of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.”

Navarre Vacation Rental Spotlight - Pearl 504

November Holiday Plans ~

November is here and so are two National holidays: Veterans Day and Thanksgiving.

Initially, known after World War One as Armistice Day – when on the 11^th month, on the 11^th day at the 11^th hour the treaty ending World War One was signed. As the U.S.  has faced more wars since then, our nation has chosen to honor all our service members with a day giving them our sincere tribute.

Thank you to those men and women and your families who faithfully have served our country. Your sacrifice and service are valued and revered. 

Thanksgiving – a time set aside by our U.S. Congress and first President to Thank God for His providence and protection. 

“By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness…”
- said by George Washington in New York, Oct. 3, 1789

As these are times Americans prefer to spend time with loved ones, let Navarre Vacation Rentals recommend making your family holiday memories at Navarre Beach.
