Vintage Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade


You remember watching the parade while the smell of the cooking Turkey slowly started invading your house. But what you probably remember seeing was a lot of giant balloons of Snoopy, Garfield, Smurfs and Miss Piggy. Here are some 1950s and 1960s photographs of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for you to enjoy.
Some are pretty creepy.
And yes that is Betty White, she co-hosted the parade with Loren Green for several years. That picture is from 1969.
You remember how excited you got when Santa came at the end......

Wow those are cool. I wasn't alive during that time, but it's neat to look at these pictures.

I'm going to the parade for the first time this year (will be staying at a nice apartment from MetroFlats.com. I'm really looking forward to making memories of my own.
