I found some more film of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC from decades past and thought others might like them too as you munch on your leftover turkey legs. Some are newsreels but the best ones might be the home movies. I thought that the Mummers' parades from Philly were pretty interesting too!

Always the non-conformist, I watched basketball. Of course, this is Kentucky. We always watch basketball!

Oooh I can't wait to see the Mummers parade footage... I used to watch it on New Years Day, but they no longer broadcast it... it's the most inventive, fun looking parade I've ever seen...
