I'm partial to the end of the parade - 'cause then it's all about football.

I have to be completely honest, I really don't go for the Macy's anymore(Other than Snoopy, who I missed again)

Years ago, my mother dragged her friend, myself, and my sister to the Macy's parade. It was cold, raining and so crowded, we walked and walked and walked. It seemed like we walked the whole parade route twice trying to find a place to watch. My sister and I finally rebelled and plopped down where we were.

We didn't get back home until late and then had to wait for the stupid turkey to cook.

And I wonder why I like to spend my Thanksgiving home alone, hmmm.

I really like the Rose Bowl Parade

Behind you! Boo.
It was okay. My daughters liked it--especially when Miley Cyrus sang. I like the school bands but you kind of have to be there for it.

I enjoy it when they show THE PARADE! The floats. The marching bands. Santa Claus. All that stuff.

That stupid psuedo-entertainment singing and dancing shit in front of the store bores the crap out of me.

And I hate the innane chatter by the announcers.
