How did parades become a

Thanksgiving tradition?

The first American Thanksgiving Day parade was

held in 1920, organized by Gimbel's Department

Store in Philadelphia, not Macy's as most people

believe. The NYC Macy's Thanksgiving Day paradetradition actually began in 1924, and has grown into

an annual event of balloons, bands, and floats,

enjoyed by more than 46 million people each year

in person and on TV.

How does your family celebrate

Thanksgiving? My family used to every other year go to my moms parents house for Thanksgiving. It was like a

big family reunion, all of my moms brothers and sisters were there (she has 2 sisters and 3

brothers), plus there wives/husbands and children. My grandfather would sit us all down 30

minutes before the turkey was done and he would give a devotion and prayer, then we would go

all around and say at least 2 things we were grateful for. Then we would eat turkey, broccoli

casserole, cranberry slices, corn, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread rolls, and

strawberry pretzel salad.

When we are not at my moms grandparents house we are at our own house with my dads parents

and other families from our church who have no where to go for Thanksgiving dinner. We eatthe same exact food that I have listed above. My dad does the devotion and we will sometimes

go on walks (depends on how cold it is) and we watch the Thanksgiving Parade.
