This is my first time to do a float or to be a 4-H leader and I want to do a good job. The theme for the Christmas parade is "A Storybook Christmas". I need ideas.

What about picking a classic Christmas story, and setting up the float with a set and characters dressed like that story. Books that come to my mind are "How the Grinch stole Christmas" or Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas or The Best/worst Christmas Story Ever or The Night Before Christmas, etc.

What do people consider to be a storybook Christmas float? I need some ideas.
I would have backdrops and have people dressed from stories like:
A Christmas Carol
Frosty the Snowman
The Little Match Girl
The Three Kings
I would make a big book out of cardboard. Have kids sitting pretending to listen to a story in their PJs. Have someone dress up as Mother Goose.
To me, Storybook Christmas means children's stories - entertaining stories or religious stories.
If this is a children's float then simple is the safest way to think when making plans. Have fun!
I've just been asked to do the Christmas float for a parade which is in about 2 weeks for our dance studio. The theme is A Storybook Christmas. Any ideas?
A Christmas Carol.
The Nutcracker or The Polar Express would be a good theme and would give you a lot of options for decorating the float.
