Thanksgiving is a day of tradition. The menu for dinner doesn’t change dramatically from year to year. The Detroit Lions will play football somewhere (and likely lose, if history is any indicator). And the day, in many households, will start with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The retailer has been a major part of this day for 98 years, and the Christmas shopping season doesn’t officially begin until Santa arrives at the end of the festivities. Along the way, there’s a cornucopia of singers, giant balloons and marching bands.
