"Wow, they did a great job this year." America said happily as he watched the parade go by. America was standing in a crowd on the sidewalk of New York, watching the Macy's Day Parade. America felt a great deal of pride every time he saw his citizens put together the parade. Citizens from all 50 of his states came together to make it possible. Just then, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked around, and saw Canada next to him.

"Mattie!" America cried as he hugged his brother tightly. "I didn't know you were coming!"

"I'm suffocating!" Canada wheezed.

"I'm sorry. I know I need to control my strength." America sniggered. "But you know around the holidays it gets harder for me to control it."

"Don't worry about it." Canada laughed. "And of course I'm here. You think I'm going to miss your Thanksgiving dinner? With your turkey, mash potato, cranberry, corn, peas, carrots, stuffing, and your desserts? Not a chance."

"You know, sometimes I think you just come over to mooch off of me." America joked.

"Maybe, you'll never know." Canada replied. "And I'm not the only one." Canada looked over his shoulder, and nodded over to England and France, who were watching the parade.

"But, they don't have a Thanksgiving." America said in confusion. "What are they doing here?"

"To spend time with their family." Canada laughed. "That's what this holiday is about right?"

"That and food." America said, looking like he was about to burst with joy.

"So, are you going to call Russia up tonight and invite him to go Black Friday shopping?" Canada asked, watching one of the floats go by.

"Nah, he said if I ever asked him again, he would beat me within an inch of my life." America said off handedly. "

"Can't say I blame him." Canada muttered. "Your people are scary."

"Keep saying things like that and I won't give you any of my Thanksgiving dinner." America laughed.

A/N: Macy's Day Parade started in 1924, and has been a long standing tradition in America. It is a parade that celebrates Thanksgiving, and at the end Santa makes an appearance to start the beginning of the Christmas season. The parade is in New York. What am I thankful for? All of the people who have made my story such a big hit, all of my followers, and all of the people who have left reviews on my story. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
