The people spoke out online and in our pages when Noblesville almost kept the COVID-era Christmas tours instead of a parade last year. They spoke out again when that parade was moved back to the traditional route, but it was not quite the kind of event they remembered. But lo! If the packed streets and happy faces on this page are any indication, the people are joyful and full of the Christmas spirit after the Holiday in Lights parade last Saturday made the town merry and bright. Merry Christmas, Noblesville.
