(If this post is striking a familiar chord, I published it last Thanksgiving. It says it all …)

I live around the corner from Macy’s in New York City.

My colleagues at PRINT gave me today off to enjoy the marching bands; watch the floats, balloons and clown cars; and experience the frolic and joy that were sorely missed last year.

Yet before bidding adieu, I must pay homage to the holiday.

After all, Thanksgiving is the essential American celebration.

So, for you I share my favorite Thanksgiving treat: Adam Sandler’s THANKSGIVING SONG.

I’m outta here. Happy holiday!
