A Helium-Filled Holiday

Source

One of my life goals is to make it to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade live.  Growing up, watching the parade was always one of the things that we squeezed into turkey day, right between the homemade cranberry sauce and chili bread.

I want to see the huge balloons anchored by armies of balloon holders (how does one get that job, by the way?).

I want to bundle up in a jacket and cute scarf.  I want to sip hot chocolate and hold the boy's hand in the street.

The parade always ushers in the real (not fake and overly extended) holiday season; if Santa makes an appearance at the parade, then by gosh, Christmas is on its way.

Warm wishes and big balloon hugs to everyone on this holiday!
