Vintage Thanksgiving Parade Pics

 Macy's began their Thanksgiving Day Parade
back in 1924, 
to celebrate their New York store's expansion
(one entire city block).
Although it was held on Thanksgiving morning,
it was called The Christmas Parade,
in hopes that it would bring throngs of parade goers
to shop the next day. 
Enjoy the pics of a long ago, less crowded paraded route,
and some weird balloons!




 The very first Santa float
from that first parade in 1924.
