Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

There was a time when the balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade weren't inflated advertisements for movies and cartoons. Eighty years ago, the balloons were instead weird animals and creepy, dead-eyed people.
