Thanksgiving and I have a love/hate relationship. I LOVE that it gives so many people a chance to stop and count their blessings and say out loud what they are grateful for. But I’m a VEGAN so, well, there’s the hate part.

This year was extra awesome thanks to a very cool “Balloon Party” held on the street where the gigantic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloons are inflated.

This was the view from the party! Made me feel pretty darn special to have such an incredible birds eye view.

After the party, my mom & I snuck downstairs and out on to the street for an even more up close & personal viewing. We also spied Tim Burton, lots of paparazzi and some very excited children. I think my favorite balloon was a tie between Kermit & the Paul Frank Monkey.

How did you celebrate the holiday? What’s your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?

Thanksgiving may be over but let’s keep that generous, grateful feeling flowing. Think of three things or people you are super thankful for in your life and give thanks for them. It’s a great little boost to your day & good for all of us :)
