Never been to Macy’s Thanksgiving, but I have been to a Rose Parade in Pasadena on New Year’s morning.

It was great, it was fun, we had bleacher seats so visibility was no problem, and bathrooms were plentiful. But it seemed much … bigger… on TV. In person, it just seemed kind of like your home town 4th of July parade, but with really elaborate floats.
