"Your attitude was Christmas and you did the whole nine yards with it. So, thank you very much for your participation in [the parade]."
He also gave some 'flash news' to the winners, "Next years parade is going to be on December 5th, put it on your calendars already... and the theme next year will be 'Christmas Then and Now.' This is the Chambers announcement of the theme for next year and since y'all are such avid supporters, you deserve the first shot at it. So, congratulations and we look forward to seeing each of you participating next year in an even grander way than it was this year. Thank you very much and Have a Merry Christmas!"
