Do you watch? I am going to have it on today and will watch as I can while doing other things. My mother always had it on when I was growing up.

Living in So Cal it’s on almost every channel so we kind of have to watch. 😁

I do watch it. It's been a tradition since I was little. The best year was when we were there in person in 2001. I loved it!

And why does the rain always skip January 1st?! It is like the city of Pasadena has a contract with Mother Nature to make it a picture perfect day. 😂

I'm watching now. It's one of my favorite parades.

ETA: Leeza and Mark are like a good cover band but the originals are always the best.

I watch it every year, if possible. I love all the floats.

No, I never watch parades on tv, I find it boring. For sure watching in person is the best but doubtful I will ever get to see the Tournament of Roses Parade and/or the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in person so tv it is.

It’s on the DVR but I’m not in the mood to watch right now. I usually watch it.

I watch for the Lions float. Fun to see people you know.
ETA: We did see the parade in 2010. I was amazed at the sea of people as far as the eye can see going back to their cars after the parade

I grew up in SoCal, so I watch it every year. But, I missed the first half yesterday! I actually saw it in person in 1977. The only thing I remember about it was seeing Donny Osmond on a float! I was a teen, so that was exciting! 😆

I usually have it on and watch off/on. I totally forgot this year because my girlfriends and I went out for an early breakfast to exchange presents.
I had a chance in the late 80s/early 90s to work on a float our company had in the parade. But we blew it off.. Now have total regrets that we were to lazy to go help. lol

I was there for the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl in 2010, too! It's definitely a bucket list experience, and I'd love to go again. I watched this year for a little while, but Al Roker and Hoda Kotb were enough to drive me crazy, so I turned it off. I think HGTV used to cover it and the commentary was much less frantic, but this year my choices were ABC and NBC only.

I taped to make sure I didn’t miss it. I have watched my entire life and would love to go in person. This would have been the year as we are Alabama fans. Love it and Macy’Thanksgiving Parade. My great niece will be in Chicago’s Thanksgiving Parade this year. We will attempt to find it on tv.

Now have total regrets that we were to lazy to go help. lol If you are ever in the area between Christmas and New Years, they take volunteers to help with the float decorations. A co-worker's wife used to do it every year.
