We have 12 reminders of Christmas parades, complete with Santa and his helpers, dancers and camels as well.
They are all nostalgic photos taken in Sunderland, Hartlepool and South Tyneside in recent years and we hope they bring back great memories.
Christmas 2020 might be a very different festive season but we can look back on times gone by and enjoy these great archive photos.
