Watching Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is a beloved tradition. For many, it marks the unofficial start of the holiday season. Still, there is a lot more to Macy's than just a parade. It is a store with a history going back over 160 years. The entire history of this iconic institution has been detailed in the book, Macy's The Store. The Star. The Story. by Robert M. Grippo.
This book not only provides a timeline of the way the store developed and changed over its long history, but also provides background on beloved Macy's yearly traditions like the Thanksgiving Parade, the 4th of July Fireworks, and the Flower Show. It is full of interesting facts as well as plenty of pictures and more. All in all, it's quite fascinating. For more about this book, see our previous post Tips for Tuesday - Books: Macy's The Store.

I love the whole thing! From the "Let's Have a Parade!" as they cut the ribbon to seeing Santa Claus! I love the bands (and seeing what part of the country they're from) and the beautiful floats (with the stars that I know or have heard of) and the amazing balloons! I have only ever seen it on TV, so what I like the least is when the CBS or NBC hosts are just talking among themselves or with the stars of current shows instead of showing the actual parade!
