Today is Thanksgiving, which means turkey, pie, and parades. Philadelphia’s parade kicked off on a truly brisk Thursday morning — it was 23 degrees at 9:00 a.m. (!) — so we won’t blame you if you decided to stay home instead of trekking to see the action in person.
Plus, this is 2018, which means you can take in the sights and sounds on the Internet!
Here you go:

Apparently Gritty decided he should ride around the Good Morning America set in style:

Unsurprisingly, everyone was (nicely) excited to see Gritty at the parade, more so than Santa Claus (boo):
In other news, the scene at the Art Museum was plenty festive:

This is a super good Turkey Hat in Center City, in front of the Santa Claus float:
