    the Ikea Thanksgiving Parade in Philadelphia. . ABC 8 am to 12 pm

    I have never heard of this parade. Is this some kind of thing where everybody has to rush out onto the parade route and assemble the floats using pictogram instructions and a hex key? If so, I’m not sure 4 hours is enough time.

    What’s the source for that? It’s not in any of NBC’s press releases.

    After the Macy’s Parade, Archie will be hanging out with Delilah, the host of the syndicated AC radio request show, along with a bunch of other stars for Thanksgiving dinner…

    Star-Studded Thanksgiving at the Farm

    It’s that time of year again - the annual turkey event at the farmhouse! This month family, friends and a few special guests will be joining me around my table for Thanksgiving. Included in my guest list are: Faith Hill, Michael Bublé, Josh Groban, Michael McDonald, Wayne Brady, David Archuleta, James Taylor and my good friend Jim Brickman.

    It seems every year I am adding more chairs and highchairs around the table. This year old friends are coming back like singer-songwriter Jim Brickman. New guests Michael McDonald and American Idol runner-up, David Archuleta, will be experiencing their first chaotic Thanksgiving at the farm. Of course my newly adopted daughters Angel and Blessing and my new grandbabies have no idea what they’re in for either. Did I forget to mention last year we had chickens running wild, Producer Janey’s infamous 7-Eleven appetizers, more guests than we were expecting, and a nightcap of karaoke in front of my fireplace?

    I never know what to expect on Thanksgiving, but I guarantee there’s never a dull moment! Josh Groban and Michael Bublé will likely get the sing-a-long started, and I hope we are treated to a few carols by Faith Hill, James Taylor, and the fabulous Wayne Brady who can sing and dance! I am truly thankful for each of these recording artists and the joy they bring to all of us thru their music.

    Join us for our Thanksgiving dinner as we gather together to kick off the holiday season. Grab the ones you love, cozy up next to the fire, pour yourself a cup of spiced cider and enjoy classic favorites on the Delilah show. This is going to be one show you don’t want to miss!
