Macy's Parade

Where else could you see a sixty foot gas filled green frog floating above the street but in New York City on Thanksgiving Day.

Yes, it's time for the annual Macy's Parade, the official Christmas season kickoff.
It's the "beginning" of Christmas shopping and of course the day before black Friday. Hundreds of thousands of people come to Manhattan every year for the parade, jamming all the cross streets one block on either side of the parade route. At noon, they all descend on the stores, some to look, a lot to just play, and a few to even buy.

So if you missed the giant Kermit last year, be in Manhattan Thursday morning and join the crowd as they wait for Kermit and his many minion handlers to float down Broadway once again
