Go ahead and call us immature, but we love those giant balloons in the Thanksgiving Day Parade. While it looks like our hopes are dashed of a revival of the creepy-looking balloons from the 1920s, the fact that The Roots and the cast of Yo Gabba Gabba! will perform may make this the best Thanksgiving parade yet.
