[Anja]

Didn't they have the song Holiday one year?

[Doris The Spider]

[BadgerLALA]

[GDJonny]

I've always wanted to live in NY. Everything's there!

[lizziebix]

Will definitely get up early to watch. Don't normally, but this will make it worth the lack of sleep.

[Vrock09]

LOTS OF FOOD + AI CAST =

I wonder what song will be played? ... It would have been cool if Macys Day Parade was in AI, lol it wouldnt fit in the story bof course, but cool for this even.

[Punx89]

[Laura!]

Oooh, awesome! I'll definitely watch this if I'm not at work.

[Robin105]

If I didn't have to work friday I'd go but I need to rest on Thanksgiving because fridays the busiest day of the year where I work. Gotta get ready for the crazy people. I'll record it cause I hate sitting through all the boring shit anyway

[Laurenn]

Yay!! I have a reason to watch the parade this year!

[Eeefaa.]

"Today's the Macy's Day Parade..."

I wish I lived in New York

[Velocity]

THIS IS AWESOME

Hmm...technically, I guess I could go, but the Thanksgiving Day Parade is always crazy and mad crowded. So this time I'll pull my ass out of bed at 9 for once and watch it on my couch.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

As already mentioned in the Musical thread and partly here...

Oh the irony.

anyways, I don't really care. Unless it's filmed. Then I'm mildly interested. But I have no idea what the hell it is (well, I know it's a parade for Thanksgiving sponsored/organized/whatever by Macy's, obviously, but that's where my knowledge ends). Can't say I'm jumping up and down with excitement, haha.

[Mari91]

cool!

i've always wanted to go to the parade but i dont wanna wake up that early.

will definitely watch though!

[LouLou]

Well, this will be my first year to watch the Macys day parade lol

[addictedjamie]

This sounds awesome, but for my English brain, could someone please tell me what this parade actually is?

I don't know anything about it, and I've only ever heard of it in passing

[Opezi]

This is going to be awesome!!!!

It's a Thanksgiving parade held in New York that is one of the biggest and the second longest running in the world. It's also a seriously 'important' American tradition to watch it on TV/go and attend the parade, which clocks in at three hours, and it's presented by Macy's, an kinda mid-high-end American department store.

Even though it's an annoyingly consumerist and overly 'FUCK YEAH AMERICAAAA' sort of event, I gotta admit I've always loved it and I always try to catch at least some of it each year ... But to the dismay of my family, who all hate it and find it exceedingly corny.

Wow, that actually sounds pretty cool, I have to see it sometime I wish we did something like that in England, but if we did it'd probably be shit so I'm almost glad we don't

Thanks for informing me
