Will you be a parade watcher tomorrow?

[C.Ann]

Or will you be too busy cooking and such?

I don't personally care for parades on tv, so I'll likely find something else to do..

 

[qtwns]

I'll be cooking while I watch the parade. And it is a known fact around here that if any one touches the TV before Santa arrives at Macy's then there will be heck to pay!

 

[diznygirl]

It's tradition. We will watch, and complain about all the promos we see, and how we'd like to see more of the actual parade - just like every year!

I used to like watching the Macy's parade but now it seems to be nothing more than a commericial for singers & Broadway shows that I never heard of and will never see. And the silly banter between the "hosts" is a bit much.

So I will probably not watch tomorrow.

I do like watching the Roses parade on New Year's Day. I will never get there in person, so TV will have to do.

We love Macy's Parade

I will be listening to it as I cook. I HAVE to watch it because my oldest dd 16 doesn't like to hear Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I always tell her once I see Santa at the parade (and I make her come to see it) then I am *allowed* to listen to my music without her complaining!!
I am much more interested in the Dog Show that will be on after. My dd13 shows dogs and we are not that far from where that Dog show was held 2 weeks ago. We have many friends who were at that show. I am hoping to see a few of them on TV!!!

I'll be too busy cooking and last minute cleaning.

I watch it half-heartedly but I tend to flip between 2 channels showing it since they seem to feature different things. One focuses more on the street performances with the dance numbers, etc... while the other one focuses more on the actual parade floats.

Unfortunately, by flipping sometimes I end up missing parts of it & depending on what all is going on, sometimes I don't quite get to the end of it either.

LOVE IT.. wont watch the whole Macy's parade, but it will be on the telly while I am cooking.

I hope to take my Mom and Aunt to NYC for Thanksgiving in the next few years.

I haven't caught up C. Ann, are you back with your DD or still at the lake?

Going to the Parade as long as it isn't raining tomorrow!! Can't wait I LOVE the Macy's Parade!
Oh and then I'll come home and cook.

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

Yes!, it is a tradition. We love the parade and the broadway performances!


for those of you who don't care for the broadway numbers, they have moved them all to the first hour - and then the parade - the last few years. Just an FYI in case some don't know!!

I'll have a couple things started, but won't do the real cooking until after the parade.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

Well I live in NY but we go to church on thanksgiving and the service is always when the parade is on. We dont have a recorder but its ok I see them blowing upthe balloons on tv the night before on the news. My friend used to go to the parade all the time and I asked her after I knew she took the train in from LI, how do you stand there and not think about going to the bathroom for hours??

Sure hope it's not windy in NYC tomorrow to cause problems with the balloons.. Haven't seen their weather forecast..

I'm STILL at the lake.. Can you believe it?? The very first time I have ever been able to stay up here this late in the season!! I'm very, very excited about that.. Normally the weather chases me out the day after Halloween - or at most, a week later..

It really looked like I was going to have to leave last weekend, but then the weather forecast changed and I was able to stay.. I have my "marching orders" though - if I don't get back there by Dec. 1st, my Dson-in-law is going to come up here with a crow bar and pry me out.. So - in light of that, I will reluctantly finish up my last minute packing and he'll come up to help me close up for the winter this Sunday..

Woo hoo!! My first Thanksgiving at the lake!!

 

[JessicaR]

Yes, we watch it every year. Bits and pieces not all of it but we stop what we're doing when Santa comes out!

 

[Planogirl]

We'll have the Macy's parade on but won't sit glued to the TV. I much prefer the Rose Parade.

Speaking of which, I've found the least annoying hosts of the Rose Parade to be on HGTV. Why oh why do these people have to be so irritating?

Macy's Parade

 

[nutterbutter2010]

I used to be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade growing up for many years. Thats a lot more fun than watching it on TV!!

 

[kinntj]

I will be watching as I bake pies. I don't have to cook a whole meal, so it'll be more relaxed at our house tomorrow. We are cooking a big meal at our house on Friday, so that'll be our day of busy work.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Yes, I'll be watching it on TV.

Last year I watched it from Times Square.

 

[ilovejack02]

PIGLET.. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow .. your first in New Orleans!!!! XOXOXO!! See you in a couple of weeks!


C.Ann, so glad you get to spend Thanksgiving at your happy place!
