Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade

Thursday was the American Thanksgiving holiday, and the city of Philadelphia held its 105th annual Thanksgiving day Parade, the oldest in the country.  There were floats of different kinds, marching bands, people dressed in costumes, and of course Santa Claus marching through the rain on the streets of the city.  The parade begins in Center City and proceeds along Benjamin Franklin Parkway before reaching the steps at the Philadelphia Art Museum.  

In spite of the cold, dreary weather, people came out to celebrate the holiday and enjoy the festivities. 


Cold Weather and Shopping 

 Saturday was a cold, snowy day throughout many parts of Upstate New York.  For that reason, many people were doing indoor activities, like doing shopping at the Destiny USA mall in Syracuse.  With the holiday season upon is, more and more people will be spending their free time this way.
