I am posting this repeat from last year since thousands of Goggle-ers searching for a picture of a Thanksgiving turkey have landed on my little site in the past week! This picture reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer sunbathes in butter...
For the second year in a row, I won't be in front of the TV early Thursday morning watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Did you know that the parade was not started by Macy’s, but rather their employees? The employees of Macy’s were once made up mostly of immigrants who were truly appreciative of their lives and opportunities here in the United States.
All from different backgrounds, countries and religions, they gathered at 125th Street dressed as clowns and other costumes carrying balloons. They marched in celebration and gratitude to Macy’s on 34th Street. 250,000 people came out to watch them and be part of the celebration of life itself. It was such a success that Macy’s fully got behind it the following year and it has been part of our tradition ever since. That was back in 1927. Incroyable, non?
Bon Appetit! and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you all! May you have much to be grateful for... Meilleurs voeux de Paris ~ Best wishes from Paris. Laura
