Has anyone ever actually been to the Macy's Day parade in NY?

no, i couldve been in the parade, but that involved being up at 3 in the morning, walking in the cold, & missing most of dinner. Plus having worked til 10 the night before & having to be at work at 6 the next day, i just couldnt do it

I don't blame you. I don't think tha I would want to be in it, then I wouldn't get to see it. I have to watch it every year, It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without watching it.

It would be soooooo cool to go! (and cold. Very cold)

I haven't but I think I'd like to at least once. I say I *think* because I really suspect that, unless you have an apartment overlooking the parade route, seeing the parade in person would be one of those things that is better in theory than in practice.

I like to watch it on TV, but I think it wouldn't be as good in person. Too many people for my taste.

I've never been either. But I do enjoy watching it on television. It was be awesome to some day see it all in person or better yet be in it.

Going to the parade is one of my life goals... (Along with seeing the worlds largest ball of twine)

I love parades, but DH and kids don't. (whine grumble grumble)

LOL out loud.

I would love to see the Macy's parade once. But I will watch it over and over on t.v. It was one of the things my mom and I did every year. Have to see Santa, that starts the whole season and then we eat dinner and watch football games. The spouse isn't a football person and it is usually warm out so we will probably take the dogs for a run.

I like to watch the parade on tv while having a late Thanksgiving breakfast. I never went to the parade in person I think it maybe to many people for me.

I strongly dislike all parades except Macy's Day parade. Its just not thanksgiving without it. I don't sit down and watch the whole thing, but i have it own as i prepare for the day and I always have to keep my eye out for Santa. I would love to see it in person just for the experience but i'm betting i would only do it once, between the crowds and cold. I n general I would love to experience NYC during the holiday season. I bet its spectacular. It would be so very hard to have christmas away from home though. :tree:

It's not thanksgiving without five things

1. The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.
2. Football
3. Playing some sort of board game.
4. Turkey.

and the last thing that thanksgiving wouldn't be thanksgiving without...

5. someone forgetting to take the rolls out of the oven.

Too funny MerrySouthernChristmas. So true though every year something gets forgotten on Turkey Day
