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.
