The 78th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks off at 9am today, marching from W. 77th St, around Columbus Circle and continuing down Broadway to – you guessed it – Macy’s flagship store at Herald Square.

This year we’ll meet a balloonified SpongeBob SquarePants for the first time, as well as a handful of air-infused M&Ms.

Have a pleasant day, however and with whomever you spend it – and try to be thankful for something, even if it’s just for spite.

Gobble gobble.
