The Wellingtonista crew have maintained a perfect year-long balance of naughty and nice. However, if you are the type of person who might find a lump of coal in their stocking on December 25, then this weekend offers you a chance to get back in the big man's good books.

It's the annual Farmers' Santa Parade this Sunday. The parade starts at 2pm at the corner of Lambton and Balance and travels down to Manner's Mall (see map a bottom of post). There will also be pre-parade entertainment from 1pm.

This year’s parade will feature a fantastic line-up of all your favourite celebrity characters like: Sponge Bob Square Pants, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Dora the Explorer, and Bananas in Pyjamas - just to name a few!

Well maybe not ALL your favourite celebrity characters (where's Paris Hilton?!).

And for those of you thinking you'll head along just to beat the kids at the lolly-scrambles, remember, Santa checks that list twice!
