<p>NANTICOKE &#8212; Christmas came early to the city on Sunday afternoon, as Nanticoke hosted its annual Christmas parade and Santa meet-and-greet.</p><p>The parade started at the Greater Nanticoke Area High School and made its way down Green Street to Patriot Square. Along the way, a large crowd of townspeople were gathered to take in the scene and partake in the holiday tradition.</p><p>Fire trucks, police cars and more processed down the street to thunderous cheers and applause from the citizens of Nanticoke, as the paraders tossed candy out of the windows of their vehicles for the young children to snatch up.</p><p>The parade also featured appearances from 570 Jeeps, as a large contingent of the vehicles took part in the parade as well, with drivers donning Santa hats and featuring Christmas lights on their Jeeps.</p><p>Children and their parents watched in awe as Santa Claus made his way down the street in the last vehicle of the procession, waving and smiling.</p><p>But that wasn&#8217;t all that Saint Nick had to do on Sunday, as he sat in his big red chair in the middle of the square and greeted all of the children, taking pictures and getting their Christmas wishes.</p><p>The parade featured a performance from the Greater Nanticoke Area marching band, who braved a light snowfall to provide a soundtrack to the parade.</p><p>Rylie Lewis is a member of the Marching Trojans.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot of fun, but it&#8217;s so cold,&#8221; Lewis said after the parade was completed.</p><p>The elements didn&#8217;t stop Tom Wall from coming out to enjoy the festivities with his two rescue dogs, Bella and Sadie.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve been waiting for today to come,&#8221; Wall said. &#8220;The dogs enjoyed it until the fire trucks came in and then they got a little scared.&#8221;</p><style>
