Did you see the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade? If not, you are in luck. Because we DID! Here are my favorite parts, so come and watch with me. They started with a turkey, which was the first float at the first ever parade. Of course, not this exact same one.
And another turkey, they had quite a few.
My very favorite was this unique elephant.
And get a load of this green outfit! My eyes bugged out! It was celebrating Carnival in tropical lands.
Here you can see that a person was actually wearing this and walking around in it!
This is the first time I have EVER seen the Rockettes without their signature bare legs! And no high kicks!
And finally, Dolly Parton. Wearing a lovely knee length fringed and bejeweled dress.
So there you have it, the blog version of the parade. Too bad I can't do the same for Black Friday.
"Holiday binge-buying has deep roots in American
culture: department stores have been associating turkey gluttony with its
spending equivalent since they began sponsoring Thanksgiving Day parades in the
early 20th century."

We did not watch the parade this year. FIrst time in forever. We had so many things to do but our THANKSgiving 2020 was perfection. We all agreed. Yes, that selfie was Avery & I. Glad you stopped by. ALways nice to see smiling faces from across the miles. XO XO
Looked like a lot of fun
When I turned the tv on I only saw clips from past parades. I didn't realize they actually did one this year..Thanks for posting it.
I didn't know you guys are organizing a Thanksgiving parade!
I hope you enjoyed it!
I am sure it was a beautiful Thanksgiving parade. Its been many years since I last saw a parade. How wonderful to be able to see Dolly Parton in person!
I didn't even think they were having the parade this year until I saw something about how tiny it was online. Glad you were able to see it and hope you were in a safe place while you did. Thanks for sharing with us!
I stopped watching parade many years ago about the time I got internet haha. But there really were some interesting things and I don't know how that person is walking around in that costume but it's really really beautiful and I'm glad you showed us all these things because they're well worth looking at.
Parades have never been "my thing" but I enjoyed these pictures, Ginny. Thank you for posting them. ~Andrea xoxo
We missed the parade this year. Thanks for sharing your highlights.
WOW! Some of those colors are wild for this time of the year! I was busy in the kitchen as usual and it was all worth it!...jp
We watched some of it on TV but had to leave before Dolly Parton was on!! Glad you got a pic for us!!
Rockettes with no bare legs or high kicks????!!!!!!!!!??????
Oh mercy!!!! Did their Signature Look, get *Cancelled* by the *Cancel Culture*?????
Ya'know... Like bare legs and high kicks, on women, is *Demeaning* or some such. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
✨🎄😊🎄✨
I didn’t watch the parade so thank you for your post :-) The green outfit is quite eye catching! Cute turkeys and elephant. Looks like it was a great parade :-)
Parades are always fun to watch, whether on tv or in reality .
I did not watch but this would have been fun to see. I love that elephant and love Dolly.
Thank you! I've never seen it...never watched it in the past, and for several years now we haven't had TV reception.
We watched the one from 1987 on You Tube. 😂 I wasn't in the mood for modern times. Ha ha!!
Dolly looks FABULOUS!
Thanks for sharing these Ginny. I missed the parade!!! I watch it every year and for some reason I forgot all about it this year. I have always been a fan of Dolly Parton, such a neat lady. That green costume, I was amazed that there was a person under all that. I wonder how much it weighed? All the floats are so impressive and beautiful!
I didn't even tune in because I thought they'd cancelled it! Haaahaha oh well ... it wouldn't have been the same without the people lining the route, freezing to death. That green thing is outrageous. xoxo
