Hello Gentleman, I am Rafael Rodriguez or you can still call me BalloonHandler1999 and to let you know I am new here. I'm glad that I am talking to people like me who are into Macy's greatest events for the holiday season. So 2021 is really showing a great sign that the world will be clean from sickness and that NBC's annual thanksgiving march could be restored in time by November. And so, I will now show you a really great vision for Macy's 2021 Lineup.
