Every Thanksgiving it has always been a tradition to watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day each year and when I have seen it I think the parade has changed it's image and has gone downhill? Is it because Macy's has updated the parade for a new generation or do they try something appealing? Because every time I have seen it the parade is not worthy of watching anymore. Take for instance I have never figured out what's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's big obsession with Broadway musicals and plays? Because why they have the preshow devoted to Broadway musicals and plays is beyond me and they should have a limit of three Broadway musicals throughout each parade and the parade should have a better preshow about Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's history and other stuff. Another thing I noticed about the parade is whenever they talk about certain balloons they show the balloon give commentary then go to a commercial break and it has surprised me that they have started to do this on the parade now. And when I have watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade I never have figured out when they announce that Santa Claus is arriving in Herald Square they make a big deal by annoying you with commentary about Santa Claus with sayings like "Santa will arrive soon and "Don't miss the big moment at the finale" and when Santa Claus finally arrives at the end of the parade all Santa Claus does is wave his arms and jumps up and down like he's being chosen to play The Price Is Right and is completely silent and they should make Santa Claus say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. I think Macy's needs to retire the Santa Claus arrival and replace it with The Rockettes doing a holiday show and that would improve the parade a lot better. I think ever since Robin Hall retired and Jean McFaddin passed away I think that was the beginning of the new image of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
