Call me crazy, but I love a good parade. The Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade is one of the biggest and most well known, and there are plenty of entertaining highlights along the way. My biggest gripe? The annoying coverage of the parade that prevents you from actually enjoying it.

The 81st annual parade begins at 9 AM today and will feature three new balloons (Shrek, Hello Kitty and Sesame Street’s Abby Cadabby), marching bands, the Rockettes, clowns, cheerleaders, and the casts of “Legally Blonde,” “Young Frankenstein,” “Xanadu” and “Mary Poppins.”

Here’s an interesting holiday offering – “Clash of the Choirs.” Forget your traditional holiday specials, this one offers up competitive choirs, with Nick Lachey and Michael Bolton going head to head as choir directors. I know, it’s the face-off of the century. Well, that may be a stretch, but the show also promises Kelly Rowland, Patti LaBelle and Blake Shelton, who will each gather a choir of 20 amateur singers from their hometowns.

“Clash of the Choirs” will air live December 17-20 – viewers will vote to eliminate one choir each night. Don’t worry, it’s not all for nothing. The winning choir and the celebrity musician will choose a prize that will help their community.
