Awww I love that! Not enough people adopt the idea of not yucking other people's yums :)

Growing up we had the parade on while we started cooking dinner, made coffee/hot chocolate, that sort of thing, and if we weren't doing anything, we'd just sit and chat or play games while watching it. I don't like parades enough to sit and stare at it for three hours, but it's warm and fuzzy for me to have on while I'm doing other things.

Real answer - I like them as a shared celebration. For the Macy’s and Rose parades, I like having them on in the background as I start my morning. The commentary is comforting. I like seeing the balloons, the floats, the hard work people put into designing them. I like seeing the shows and the dancing. And if it’s in person, I like the festive atmosphere.

It can be frustrating when it’s. all. the. time.

I lived and worked in Ecuador, and I had an absolutely miserable job. But anytime I tried to talk to anyone about it, it was “oh don’t be sad, just drink and dance and be happy!”

There’s wanting to bring your friends up and then there’s taking “positive vibes only” literally.
