Flashback Friday – Thanksgiving edition - Billy Crystal/Robert DeNiro Ad

Today's flashback is a little earlier.

Last year I was in Milan for Thanksgiving eating an amazing dinner with several of my expat friends and their Italian husbands.

This year I will be working.

I am thankful my family and friends are healthy.

I am also thankful for being able to live in this incredible city.

Some of you from the States might remember this ad. It aired during the Macy's Parade the Thanksgiving after 9/11.

Have a great holiday weekend.

Very cute! I hope you'll be able to have some turkey today. And stuffing and cranberry sauce and...
Now I'm hungry and it's only 10.30!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

So nice. I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving, even if you'll working. In fact, good luck with finishing up the job .

I remember your Thanksgiving post of last year. Enjoy your new home.

That was a fabulous ad. I've never seen it before.

My mom went out for her last time to view the parade - I grew up on the block where the parade starts and the balloons are blown up. I have many, many memories from growing up days. Now it's a zoo.

I know it was an emotional time for my mom today.

I've never seen this commercial before! But granted, I don't usually watch the parade. Enjoy your Thanksgiving with some good food, even if you're working. I'm working too but will take it kind of easy.
