Well, it's finally here for 2012, the day Americans get together to give thanks for all they have. At least that's what the holiday is supposed to be for.
Nowadays, it seems, it's more about gorging ourselves on turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pie, and anything else edible. Then there's the parades, and football games, with more food involved.
Once we're as stuffed as the turkey, it's nap time; especially for those with big plans early the next day. Well, it used to be the next day; anymore, there's no time for napping, because some stores are opening that very evening. And by golly, that's important! When else can you get absolutely everything you do and don't need on sale at wonderful prices? So wonderful that some give up the food, parades and football, just to stand in line, (anywhere from a few hours to a day or so), for a chance to get their coveted item(s).
Truthfully though, all of what's been described is fun, for most people. So, on this day, please do have a great time with friends and family; just remember to be thankful for all of it as well.
With that said, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!
