One of my favorite things to do in New York is to attend the balloon inflation for the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This takes place on the Wednesday night before the parade. The photographs are mine except as noted.
Note: I did not get to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year, and none of my past contributors have provided any photos. So if you're one of the 3.5 million people who did see the parade and you'd like to share your images here, let me know.
As a matter of course, my past Thanksgiving posts remain available for your review:
