    Question Do you watch the macy's Parade?

    There was a time I never missed it, but I haven't sat through it in a few years. Maybe this year. I do enjoy catching parts of it.

    I always intend to watch it but I usually end up forgetting or sleeping late and missing most of it.

    I see bits and pieces of it too. But it definately has to be on.
    It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the sounds of the parade
    or football!

    I used to love to watch it too when I was a child, but now I only watch it once in a while.

    I like hearing the football games, but the parade has just never really interested me...not sure why now considering all the other responses I'm seeing!

    It's usually on, but I'm in the kitchen like most moms.....the kids and dh usually watch and make comments. Did anyone see it the year that they had the catastrophe with some of the huge, inflatable things? There was one that got tangled up somehow and ended hitting a person in the crowd and crippled them. We were watching that year. It was really sad.

    I love the parades. I always have them on in the kitchen while I cook Thanksgiving dinner, it is part of my tradition. My Mother always had them on when I was growing up although we never had a television in the kitchen, it was on in the living room while she cooked.

    I love the Christmas parades too.

    Blessings,
    Kathy
