We watched this show every December when we were growing up. Also the beloved Rudolph one, they usually aired the same day. ONLY once a year. We so looked forward to it. There were no repeats, or taping , or VCRs or anything of the sort. If you missed it....you missed it.
This is the Awesome Original Second Time Around Marching Band, composed of former band members! They are from St. Petersburg, Florida.
These girls are the Spirit of America Cheer group, a HUGE GROUP of young ladies selected from all over the States.

.......and Thanksgiving dinner:
Mashed "taters" and turkey! YUM

| Has anyone else tried this cheese? I had never heard of it until recently, and gave it a try---it's good! |

| this turkey platter was inherited from Mr. Front Porch's Grandma. We use it every year. |
I found butter sculpted like this for Thanksgiving....I thought this was SO CUTE!
There was also stuffing and rolls and gravy. And pecan pie and whipped cream.
If you're looking for good cheese straws....these are a favorite of mine!
Some pretty Thanksgiving cards we received.
And now.........we are speeding towards CHRISTMAS!

When I was a child in NYC, my dad would take my siblings and I and maybe few cousins on the train downtown (about an hour ride) to see the parade. I remember sitting on my dad’s shoulders and watching in amazement as all the beautiful floats and big balloons went by. Then we would all get on the train again and get home just when my mom and aunts had Thanksgiving dinner ready. The parade was big but nothing like it is today.
ReplyDeleteI did not get to see the parade so I really appreciated this visit! You did a great job documenting it for us!
ReplyDeleteyou captured some great pictures of the parade debbi, i watched as well!! do you remember the year we went, it was so amazing, something i will never forget!
ReplyDeletethose mashed potatoes look awesome, that is my favorite part of the dinner, second only to the stuffing!! i wish i had seen those butters, i would have loved to have them!!
we eat that boursin cheese, in that flavor...and it is sooooooo good!!!
I recognize most of those parade scenes because I watched it too and also in my pajamas! I just adore those cute little turkey butter sculptures. They are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cool! I love the Macy's parade too -- and watched it -- so fun to see the super close-ups! Love it all (and also your amazing platter!)
