Each year the day before Thanksgiving, revelers young in age, and some just young at heart, gather outside the American Museum of Natural History in New York City to watch the balloons blown up for Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I was one of the wide-eyed spectators again this year.
Getting there as soon as it begins at 3 PM means beating the crowds, and just finding some of the balloons in a semi-deflated state.
Getting ready for showtime: Macy's workers.
Too short? Get a lift! There's a lot to see...
...just take a look:
Being a child of the 80s, I was a serious Smurf fan. I'm talking figurines, sheet set, Smurfette lunch box, Smurfette Halloween costume in the second grade. I even had a Smurf game for ColecoVision (remember that?)
Even a few doggies joined in on the fun.
Remember when simple things made so many of us happy?
Believe in the magic of feeling like a kid again.
Happy Thanksgiving!
