So proud of the Garson Team and all of the hard work we did this past year! Celebrating our gratitude at our Annual Holiday Party!

Thanksgiving is a time of giving and gathering with families and friends where traditions are honored. One of the most beloved traditions is watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. The balloon characters float down Central Park West to wend its way to Macy’s at Herald Square.

One of our family traditions was going to the Natural History Museum the day before Thanksgiving to watch the assembled balloons inflate and come to life before our eyes!

Here are some facts about the parade, curated by Scholastic!

✅This is the 97th year of the Macy’s Parade which started in 1924.
✅In 1929, helium was first used to fill the balloons. As a grand finale, the balloons were released at the end of the parade.
✅650 pounds of scrap rubber were donated to the government for use in World War II when Macy’s suspended the parade for three years due to rubber and helium shortages.

Just got my hair done by Damien!

I had the wonderful experience of visiting the thought-provoking art at the New Museum's exhibition, 'Intertwined' by Wangechi Mutu.

I was immediately immersed in the intricate tapestry of Mutu's visionary work, exploring themes of identity, femininity, and cultural fusion.

The show is closed now, but do check out some of the fabulous art by
