Christmas cheer was in abundance this weekend in Jefferson City, including Saturday's annual parade through downtown, the opening of the Festival of Lights at Binder Park, a chance to share pancakes with Santa and more.

On Friday, a Jefferson City tradition for more than 20 years, storefronts and windows downtown came alive with dancers, singers, religious and holiday themes as part of the Living Windows event.
