Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for

 Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for Thanksgiving is a simple reflection on what we have and what we can be thankful for, whether in a spiritual or material context. With the experiences lived during the last months of the pandemic, it seems that we appreciate more the simple things, the family that we have close to us, our friends, whom we could not see for a long time. A good celebration of life !

 The famous Thanksgiving parades in New York




Thanksgiving Day is also famous for its parades. It all started in 1924, when Macy's (one of the main department stores in the United States) started a parade for Thanksgiving in New York. A few decades later it attracts between two and three million viewers.


Its 2.2-mile course is incredibly colorful, with lots of music, giant balloons, Broadway theater performances, and even a Santa Claus. The parade ends at Macy's, where the store's Christmas window opens.
