Smyrna, TN: Each year in celebration of the holiday season, the town of Smyrna organizes a festive Christmas parade for their community. Local businesses are encouraged to participate under the condition that they pay an entry fee of the edible variety.

"The idea came to me while I was decorating my own home," said Owens, Realtor for Crye*Leike Blue Skies.
