So what you are saying in essence is, you missed the boat.
Canada had Thanksgiving back on the 10th of October, if I remember? The US is the last Thursday of November. Most people I know donāt have turkey, it is a dry meat bird. We are currently cooking ham and chicken. Other items on the menu are potatoes, corn, green beans, sweet peas, 3 flavors of gravy, etc. due to the majority of our family being diabetic, high doses of insulin will be served prior to the meals. I say meals, because will basically eat and graze all day into the night.
The main focus will be family. My oldest son and his daughter are currently playing an extreme game on his PlayStation called āHell Divers 2ā. They shoot people in bullets into planets, I would love to know the physics on that one. Lots of violent monster killing in that game.
My husband is talking and socializing with our friends, in what he calls the LAN room, I call it a man cave. I am waiting on my sister to show up, unless she shows up later tonight drunk and pissed off. My youngest son will be arriving shortly with a friend from college. He is an Asian history major. He can and will talk a bluestreak about the Sengoku period. That will put most people to sleep. Also probably why he is 32 and hasnāt kept a girl interested very long. I imagine the girl he is bringing is going to dump him after they meet us, maybe she will last to the New Year.
Enjoy your day today, enjoy your family, and have fun!

Itās called being conquered. Should have fought harder. Better luck next timeā¦
Having said that, you gotta love the United States. We set aside a holiday in which to be thankful for everything that we have, then the very next day (Black Friday) we trample each other in a mad stampede to get even moreā¦.

I think I missed a century. Although at least I still have my scalp.
Thanks! I look forward to New Yearās Day, thatās when I see my brother and sisters. My son and daughters are a plane and 8,000 miles away in the U.S. Iām planning to go to Canada next year to have family reunion with them. Iām hoping my son lets me try his Harley 
The truth of it is those āindigenous peopleā were not the first to arrive on this giant patch of dirt. They ran off the first. Violently. Then they warred with each other over territory until we joined in the fight.

I wonāt argue thatā¦ They had scouts but they shouldnāt have flown a ship they couldnāt afford.
America was founded by a bunch of pissed off Europeans. They were so angry at the time, they left Europe in leaky boats, and said, Maybe we will die. They got to the east coast looked around and wanted more. They headed west across the continent, looking for something better. Sadly they never found whatever it was they sought. Their descendants are still mad as Hell and canāt seem to figure it out either.
Happy Thanksgiving.
