There are too many funny stories from the Macy*s Parade, but here's one

The funniest part would have to have been the people around us. Heidi and I arrived at the parade around 7:30. We had a great spot on the corner of 57th and Broadway. The people in front of us had been there since 5 am. They were crazy. A group of people from New Hampshire, lead by the infamous Pastor Jeff, who yelled at the Hawaiian marching band, “hey, I want to get leied!” They have been coming to the parade for 10 years, same corner. They even brought homemade sugar and oatmeal cookies with them. One offered cookies to Carrie Underwood as she went by on her float. These people became best friends with a group from Florida. They were sharing hats, passing gloves back and forth. It was hilarious. You would have thought they had been friends for years. I must say at times they were obnoxious, but they did make the parade entertaining.
