An overflow crowd filled the streets of Monroe, Ga., Thursday for the 2012 Christmas Parade. The theme this year was   "Coming Home for Christmas."

Grand Marshal was Carrie Bowen whose new album, "Sleepy Little Town," fit perfectly with the theme. Bowen grew up in Monroe, so she was essentially, "coming home for Christmas" herself.

If you have pictures of your own taken at the parade, please upload and let us feature them on Monroe-GA Patch.
