You've decided to finally check off this long-held bucket list item. Instead of watching it on TV, you've decided to attend the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Everyone I've talked to tells me it's a monumental experience they will never forget, but if it freaks you out being surrounded by large groups of people, this may not be for you.

If you missed last year's parade or you just need to see it again, check this out!
