While I was looking for Thanksgiving Parades in Ohio, I didn’t find a lot. It seems that Christmas has become such a dominating winter holiday that one parade is usually held at the end of November or the beginning of December. One way to look at this is Thanksgiving is the beginning of the most important celebration in one’s life. What might that be some might ask. It’s the birth of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, in many ways the birth of Jesus Christ has become overshadowed by the commercialization of Christmas. However, this Yahoo Contributor looks for the gifts and talents God has given all of us. What better way to enjoy these things then a parade. The Macy’s Day Parade will be celebrating it’s eighty-fifth year of existance in 2011. The Macy’s Day Parade has been a Thanksgiving Day tradition for many viewers for a long time.
