10 Appearances To Look Forward To In The 2015 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Every year on Thanksgiving Day, my sister and I wake up just before 9 a.m. to get ready to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It has been a tradition in our family since we were young—sitting on our couch in our pajamas and nestled in our blankets. During the parade, we switch back and forth between NBC and ABC. If you enjoy watching broadway performances, you probably just watch the parade on NBC. If you prefer seeing all of the different floats and balloons, then CBS is the way to go. On both channels, the reporters always interview actors and actresses from tv shows on their networks. It is one of my favorite parts of the parade. The following are people or things I am looking forward to see during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.


1. Shawn Mendes

Even though he is Canadian, I wouldn't mind listening to Shawn sing a few tunes at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I think he is the new "Justin Bieber."

2. Jordin Sparks



When Jordin went on tour with the Jonas Brothers a few year ago, I got to meet her before the concert. She was so sweet and took the time to autograph my CD. She is one of the only American Idol finals to make it big. I love her musical style!

3. The Cast of School of Rock: The Musical



Remember that movie when Jack Black disguised himself as a substitute teacher and created a band with his "students." Now there is an new adaptation into a musical!

4. Mariah Carey


Carey song, "All I Want for Christmas," never get old. It gets me in the Christmas spirit.

5. Andy Grammer


"It's fine by me" if Andy performs at the parade.

6. Panic! At the Disco


Their song, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," takes me back to my middle songs dances. I can still recite the whole song!

7. Daughtry


Daughter is probably the only rock group I will listen to. Again, he is another singer from American Idol that made it big.

8. Questlove


If you didn't know, Questlove is a member of The Roots who is the official band of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He usually has a comb in his afro.

9. Tom Turkey Float


This is one of my favorite floats in the parade. Seeing it just gets me in the thanksgiving spirit!

10. Santa Claus

Who doesn't love seeing Santa Claus! It means Christmas is right around the corner!


Well, there you have it! So on Thursday at 9 a.m. grab a blanket and take a seat on your couch to enjoy one of the best parades of the year.

Mouse, Cookie, Chaos!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
