The Most Wonderful Time of the Year... Kind Of

THE MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! This is seriously one of our favorite events of the year - others include Christmas, when the Starbuck's cups turn red, Passover (for the food), and anytime we wake up before 10:30 and are able to get fast food breakfast. All of the performers were announced, and we're pretty darn excited. Elyse is kind of peeing her pants about White Christmas, Annie's peeing her pants about In the Heights, Mom's peeing her pants about South Pacific, and Dad is peeing her -er, his- pants about James Taylor. Just kidding, he's peeing his pants about The Little Mermaid. 

Thanksgiving morning, we always wake up to the smell of pancakes, and when we get downstairs and realize it's noon, we go through this horrible 1-minute period of panic that we missed the Parade. Then, we realize we taped it and proceed to fast-forward through every band, balloon, and helicopter tour (except when it was given by Bob Saget- remember? He was hilarious!), and we watch the Broadway performances obsessively. Have you realized by this point that we have obsessive personalities? We thought so. 

All we can say is we're very glad How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang AREN'T performing this year. Seriously, both of those performances kind of freaked us out. Unfortunately, Mary Poppins actually is performing again this year, which is annoying- their performance last year freaked us out. 

Finally, look out for the dueling Wicked women, Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, each performing solos on different incredibly random floats- Idina on the "M&M's on Broadway float" and Kristin on the "Care Bears Winter Funderland" (seriously) float. Don't you like imagining the disputes they had over who got to perform on which float? 

Can't wait to see what everyone thought of the performances this year! And again, how have we not gotten better at ending our posts?
