our annual tradition, handed down by my mom, is that we faithfully watch the macy's thanksgiving day parade on the tele every thanksgiving morning. usually this means we just leave the tv on and watch bits and pieces of it as we enter & exit the living room. this year ian won't be home until the last bit of it which is crucial since if there is one thing we never miss, it is santa waving hello to us at parade's end as he officially ushers in the christmas season.
