Thanksgiving Day Parade thread

Thanksgiving Day Parade thread. Are you watching the Macy’s Day Parade or a local parade? Do you have a favorite float? How excited is your family today?

The Broadway skits are my favorite part of the parade...

We are watching the Philadelphia Parade. I don't like how parades are all performances. I like the marching bands and floats. Guess I am old fashioned.

I watch it every year (Thanksgiving tradition), but my kids have never had any interest. No specific favorites. I like the whole spectacle of it.

Forcing DS6 to watch it now. He doesn’t love it like he loves Mark Rober on YouTube, but he hasn’t completely given up on me yet.

I am confused as to why everyone has masks on, but take them off to speak to maskless Al Roker. The only time where you are face to face with someone. Inches away. The time that a mask would serve its purpose. And they take the masks off. Silly.

I love seeing the high school and college bands!

It’s called theater.

It’s called theater.

For sure.

It is actually embarrassing at this point.

I have Macy's on! I'm here for the balloons and will mute the 'performances' and sometimes when the anchors will not stop talking. XD

We are watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade from Plymouth, MA. We were there Saturday.

It was Plymouth’s 400th anniversary.

Might turn on the Parade, if I can. I think Peacock is streaming it.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Yes. Watching the Macy's parade. Loved the Jimmy Fallon Lay's chips advertisement. And Foreigner, wow.

 

[tvguy]

No. I used to watch it 50 years ago as a kid, but last 42 years Thanksgiving has been a normal work day for DW and I and this being our first Thanksgiving off thanks to retirement, but the TV isn't even on.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Once in awhile I’ll watch the parade but it’s not a must watch for me.

 

[OKW8297]

Yup we have it on. I loved the Broadway songs. Teared up watching Annie. That girl is adorable! That was the first musical I saw and I wore out the soundtrack . I used to sing along sometimes with my Mom and she passed this year.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Well, I watched it until the DCL float went by. It's just sooooooo full of random actor interviews (mostly shows I've never heard of), and advertisements and "chit-chat" about nothing.

I'd like to see the parade, with minimal commentary.

 

[RamblingMad]

CBS cut out all of the Disney floats by me. So I had to watch the parade a second time with all of the floats on NBC.

I was watching it on CBS, they showed the DCL float. Were there others?
