Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S. Just wanted to say, "Thanks" to and for my new peeps here on AB. It is a lot of fun and has offered a lot of support and entertainment when I needed it. Will be eating lots of good stuff tomorrow and will have some cake for Boo and a drink for Knobby.

Happy holiday, E.T.. I live a couple of hundred miles north of you, and we have had our 'Thanksgiving' a few weeks ago. I understand that you guys celebrate this more so than Christmas.

Thanks to you all for your well wishes. For those who don't know, Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day of remembering the 1st Thanksgiving when the Native Americans (AKA Indians) shared their harvest with the first American settlers. Apparently the Puritans (Pilgrims) were having trouble surviving the harsh wilderness and the Indians shared with them. In thanks, over a number of years, the newly formed American Gov't slaughtered them and took their land. Of course we don't teach that part in school.

The food is Turkey, mashed potatos, sweet potatos, corn, cranberry sauce, gravy and any variety of variations. Of course with our diverse country many other cultures add their own touches too.

Thanks again to one and all!!!

Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving E.T. It was terrible what happened to the native Indians, but I think most countries have something to be ashamed of. x.
