As Nonantum prepares for a holiday season like no other, Santa, his elves, and a host of cartoon characters paraded through the village streets in a Holiday Roll on Sunday spreading cheer and reviving a tradition last celebrated over 25 years ago.
Before Sunday, the parade was just a cherished memory to some longtime Nonantum residents.
