The 97th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Is it just me or does anyone else remember when this used to be a wonderful Thanksgiving Day tradition that actually showed a parade instead of just being a 3 hr commercial? Used to be almost all floats, balloons, and bands with occasionalmarketing but primarilyon the floats or just banners. The ridiculous waste of time commentary about everything but the parade, promotion of upcoming shows and "celebrities" they want to promote etc. Are absolutely awful. Even the music performances are nothing but marketing for whichever music label / movie company owns the performers contracts and song rights. Very sad what has become of a once great parade the last several years.

With performances from Brandy, Cher, the Rockettes, and many more, this parade doesn't disappoint. In a few years it will be the 100th annual parade, and that is so significant and special it's hard to imagine.

I hope you caught this parade on TV because it is not one to be missed.

They even included a phone call with Joe and Jill Biden, which was pretty special.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so excited for Christmas, and Christmas is coming fast.

Just three more years now until 100. I'm so excited for the parades to come and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving, merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
