In which a thousand tubas blast Christmas goodness to Chicago from Portland.

Portland Tuba Christmas Fest

When you can combine one of the greatest shows on earth (see above) with some of the greatest people on earth (see below), then it's definitely an extrasuperspecial Christmasy day of celebration. 

Also, our son spotted both Bernie Sanders AND Matt Damon's brother in the crowd.

He was positively certain on both counts.
