Thanksgiving, as you may know, is one of the most important holidays in the States. Many travel to their family to celebrate and eat the Turkey, watch a good football game and enjoy being together for a couple of days. Thanksgiving traditionally is a harvest festival, a time to say thanks for the harvest and express gratitude for what you have in general.
In the US the celebration always takes place on the 4th Thursday in November.
Furthermore, it's the start of the so-called "holiday season" all the way up to Christmas, despite the current bad economics times, shop till you drop...!
Thanksgiving in the City means watching the Thanksgiving Parade go by. A fantastic line-up of big helium filled balloons of well known cartoon characters, big bands and celebrities... Early this morning, I went watching the Parade just around the corner of my apartment, on 57th and Broadway, trying to get as close to the action to shoot some nice pictures.
The weather was great, the balloons impressive and the kids were thrilled by seeing their favourite cartoons coming by!
