Same- my first Thanksgiving away from home, too far to travel back, missing watching the parade with my sisters while my mom and dad cook. I take some comfort in missing them (I know I only miss them because we love each other so much) but it's still a heavy feeling.

[@kingpetra6886]

That is so spot on. People want to watch a parade and you cannot do that with the NBC presentation. I am watching this in the evening and am enjoying it.

[@aortaplatinum]

I agree for the most part, but I enjoy how well edited together it is and how we get to see all the performances. I wish NBC didn't hold that TV version hostage behind Peacock's paid premium and then nuked it 5 hours afterwards. Like God damn it dude people don't want to get up at 8am on a holiday even for such a beloved tradition.

We have to remember to support these stores like Macy's and Barnes and Nobel that actually provide a service in the community in many ways. It's the idea of having another place to congregate besides home and work.

[@donaldducko6580]

Really? Macys buys garbage made overseas usually in sweat shops a lot in communist China and sells it for 400% of what they paid. It’s not wrong. It’s business, but stop acting like they’re doing something noble.

[@cyberqueen7784]

Happy Thanksgiving! The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade always makes me happy. I used to live in New York as a kid. I remember on Thanksgiving 2005, my parents wanted to take me and my sister to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. But my sister just wouldn't wake up so we could catch the subway to get there. So I never have gotten to see the parade in person. I do hope to someday.

[@mkl62]

Enjoyed the parade and it is good to see it back 100% this year. Now, I am going to do a little lobbying. After the tragedy in WI, I hope that Macy's invites The Dancing Grannies to the parade next year to perform, whether in front of 34th Street or on the route. Who's with me?

[@hillsidedweller656]

Happy thanksgiving. This thanksgiving is going to be difficult, I’m struggling financially because I declined the vaccine because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and I was fired from my job of 13 years. I’m a single mother struggling to provide food, and shelter for my two children both of my sons are autistic, so my days may be more challenging than most mothers. We are not celebrating thanksgiving this year because honestly we can’t afford it. Even though i’m going through all these trials and tribulations I still have faith that God will provide! He will make away for me and my children! Amen!
