We love a parade…

Macy’s parade - partial screenshot

…and nothing says the holidays (at least to most of the nation – and a few displaced New Yorkers) than the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. When the telecast begins here at 9 a.m. local time on NBC13, the parade will have already been winding down from 77th Street on New York’s West Side for about 30 minutes or so. But will all of the new balloons and floats, and a chance to see a performance from a show that is not currently being performed on Broadway because of the stagehand strike, it’s still a great way to get the holiday season started.

That and the guy in the red suit…

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Terminal!

Embellishments holiday concert, Birmingham Museum of Art

Posted on November 19, 2007 | Comments Off on Embellishments holiday concert, Birmingham Museum of Art

Need ideas on how to RING in the holidays? Start with a holiday concert that really does. Organized in October 2001, Embellishments is a civic handbell ensemble based in Birmingham. This group consists of 16 auditioned musicians, directed by Phyllis Kirk. Embellishments plays six+ octaves of Schulmerich Bells, seven octaves of Malmark Chimes, two octaves of Petit and Fritsen bells, and various other instruments. I have no idea what that means, but it sounds impressive. The museum is located at 2000 Eighth Ave. North downtown.

Cost: Free
