Thanksgiving 2026 Thread

[Escalation]

I have started seeing commercials for Macy's during the Winter Olympics in which they talk about celebrating "100 years of parades."



Even though they never specifically mention Thanksgiving, it's clear what "parades" they are talking about. Oh yeah, this year is gonna be BIG.



The countdown is on!

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 281
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 256
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 195

Happy Worrisome Winter! Today folks we move along and see that we have 281 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 256 days left until November and 195 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Winter Wonderland with our next milestone set to arrive in less than 1 week with the 250-Day Marker till November. It’s Wednesday folks so time for our Weekly Wednesday Poll below!

What’s your thoughts on the 100th Macy’s Day Parade scheduled for November?

A.) It’s the same as any other parade to me.
B.) It’s more exciting to me than your average parade.
C.) I’m not really into the parade for most years and I don’t see that changing.
D.) I am so excited about it I wish I was there in person (and may even consider going to it).

I’m going with B. I always love the parade, but I think this year has a little extra feeling to it and excitement level. I’m looking forward to it more than usual. It should be fun and special. The best to you my turkey friends as we progress into the middle of this week. Everyone might feel off a day this week if they were off Monday. Have a great Worrisome Winter!​

 

[Rich]

It's a B for me. I really hope they do it up big this year. I'm just afraid they're going to make it about everything except Thanksgiving and tradition. I hope I'm wrong. 100 parades are extraordinary.

 

[SnowflakeMom]

I am going with B too.

I don't sit and watch the parade from beginning to end but we always have it on in the background while getting stuff ready and I stop to watch different parts of it.

Another vote here for B.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Like Rich said, it would be a shame if they celebrated their 100th parade and put the "Thanksgiving" part on the back burner. I'm counting on a dose of tradition and nostalgia, hopefully some recreations of vintage balloons and floats, and, dare I dream, some kind of nod to Miracle on 34th Street. That would be icing on the cake.

And they could also bring back Rick Astley to rickroll all of America again. I'd have no problem with that.

I am going with B too. I am planning to figure out a way to watch the parade on my computer in my kitchen. I will have to get Hulu set up and hope the wi-fi is strong enough. Maybe this will motivate me to upgrade my router, I have had signs that I need a better one but mostly I am here on MMC and checking my email.

 

[Irish75]

I am going to be that guy.......C. The parade was never a big thing for me. It is always on in the background so technically I am watching it. Lol.

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 280
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 255
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 194

Happy Fantastic February! Today folks we move along and see that we have 280 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 255 days left until November and 194 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Winter Wonderland with our next milestone set to arrive in 5 days with the 250-Day Marker till November. It’s Thursday folks so time for our Weekly Countdown till Thanksgiving. It stands at 40 weeks. WOW! That’s such a big one because of the round # but if you think that’s big think about NEXT week. Not because of the # but because of the %. I will let you mathematicians’ figure that out until then. It’s been a good week here so far and today is Thursday, so I always give extra thought to Thanksgiving on Thursdays. Don’t we all? And I like how we’ve been talking about the 100th Macy’s Parade set to arrive in November. It’s been fun to discuss the outlook of what’s to come way down the road deep into The Bers and Autumn Season. I hope everyone here is having a good week so far. And the weather is improving slowly as we move along in the 2nd half of winter and the month of February. I always say things seem to slowly improve (with the ups and downs) as we get past Valentine’s and President’s Day. So far, it’s been true. We’ll see how things go forward. The best to you turkey friends. Have a great Fantastic February!​

Can I say it? I know what next week is.

Thanksgiving 2026 really feels like all the stops are being pulled out and seeing that it's the 100th anniversary of the parade puts even more pressure on this year as being BIG. None of us are going to be around to see the 200th, and we don't even know if they will still be doing it then.

And for me, I've already stated how I think the pressure is on for this Holiday Season to outperform last year (which will be easy to do) to sort of erase the stain of everything going so bad that was out of our control!
