Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

What is on T.V. every Thanksgiving morning? What starts on 77th street in New York City? The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, of course! Lots of people watch it, (44 million!),and  it has been a tradition since 1924. Those of you who haven't already watched on T.V., this is what the parade is all about: Every Thanksgiving morning, a parade called the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is on T.V. at nine o' clock am, taking place in N.Y.C. In the parade there are huge balloons and floats heading down 77th Street, stopping at 7th Avenue . This traditon started in 1924 because a  lot of people were immigrants, and they were proud they were now americans. They then wanted to celebrate a holiday similar to which they did in Europe. Throughout the 1930s, the population of people watching the parade grew and grew until almost everyone watched it! Soon there were balloons and floats for lots of characters that children and adults like. (especially Walt Disney ones.) Since then, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been a big hit!

What I Am Thankful For

Lauren Cassella

I am thankful for a lot of things. One thing I am thankful for is my family. They always support me and cheer me up when I’m sad. I am also thankful for my friends. They make me laugh and we have a good time together. I am thankful for a lot of things.
