I believe in being a "gamer" about it. In the USA, XMas is part of an ongoing religious war in which everything that is godless and unholy about capitalism teams up with humorless religious forces to overwhelm us with crappy holiday sentiment. In my family we believe in toughing it out for the sake of not losing our stake in this dispute.
I always enjoyed the parade for its unintentional (?) humor. People dancing in animal costumes, giant hot air stuffed animals, a peek at what's on Broadway....
Also it was worth it to see Dora the Explorer attempt to funk out. Meanwhile, the Motown dancers were horrid - have they never watched The Temps? Or maybe it was too cold. Also a couple of the dancers slipped and nearly fell.
It seemed though that the participants had good humor about it. And marching bands are cool. Go Spartans!!!
