Hmm. Well, as usual for young'ns that grew up sans personal TV, my tastes were heavily flavored by my parents' opinions. They never liked the Macy's parade. I remember wanting to see the big balloons but they'd always change it on me. I remember sneaking the Hollywood Christmas parade. I had to sneak it not because it was about Christmas but because my parents didn't know any of the celebrities. The little I've seen of the DooDah parade on TV (seems I always miss it) I've always enjoyed.
I like public spectacles and large crowd gatherings.
