Macy's Thanksgiving Parade 2012

               Did you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade? Well if you didn't, let me tell you a little bit about it. The Macy's Parade was held in New York. They held the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade because a long time ago, many of Macy's workers were immigrants and they missed their culture's holidays so Macy's decided to have a parade every Thanksgiving morning to honor Thanksgiving. In Macy's Thanksgiving parade, There were balloons, bands and floats. But before all that, people were singing songs from movies like Elf and Cinderella.

            Most of the balloons were characters from children's TV shows. Some of the balloons I liked are Spiderman, Pikachu and the Pokeball and Sonic. Some of the balloons were huge while others were smaller. I also remember there was the mascot of a baking ingredients company. He was a white person with blue eyes and a white chef hat. There was also balloons for girls like Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty was in a yellow airplane flying. The hosts said Hello Kitty's bow was very famous. Under each balloon a lot of people wearing shirts that went along with the balloon  were holding the balloon. 

           In front of each balloon was a band. My favorite band was a band with cool helmets on. There was also a band that had the Marines in it. The Marines were pointing guns at each other but they didn't shoot. I wouldn't like that band because I would be freaked out if somebody holding a gun was behind me. In the bands the people were playing flutes, clarinets, trumpets and much more. A lot of the bands were from high schools. They always were moving their legs so I guessed it was a marching band.  Most of the time I wasn't really paying attention to the bands because all their music sounded the same.

            At some point before the end of the parade some floats came into action. One float was about Domino Sugar. On the float kids were happy and a large machine was making GIANT cookies. Another float had Carly Ren Jepsen. She was singing one of her songs that I didn't recognize. After her float a bunch of other music bands or people were singing. Finally I recognized Kidz Bop. Kidz Bop is a company that uses kids to sing very famous songs in the appropriate version.

            At the very end they said Santa would come. So I saw Santa, but I really saw a bunch of Santas in different robes. One was in green, another was in purple and others were in different colors. Finally I saw the real Santa in his red coat with a long beard. After that the parade ended. That was a really long parade!
