Ever sincle I was lil I could always remember how excited my entire family was to go see the Hollywood Christmas parade. We saw so many different stars that were our own age such as Punky Brewster..Tiffany(singer)Al B Sure(singer),Different actors that were from shows who were a hit. Now all you have are Soap Opera actors who my kids and Im assuming any one elses dont even know. Do the stars in Hollywood think they are too good to do this? Dont they know its for the kids..dont get me wrong its very nice of the people who do participate but NO ONE WHO HAS A JOB KNOWS THEM!!!!There are thousands of actors who live there and I think they need to step it up like the old days and have people who the kids would LOVE to see...why not BIG TIME RUSH?? or actors from like Modern Family or Desperate Houswives. They all film there at Universal. Its pretty sad that they have thses egos..Macys parade seems to only get the good people yet you are HOLLYWOOD!!!
