First off, I gotta ask: is Thanksgiving the best holiday? To me, it's totally underappreciated. The whole point of Thanksgiving is to get together with others you care about and to consume fantastic food (arguably the best meal of the year) and booze and spend a great day together. There's no obligations concerning gifts, no crazy 'season' attributed to it. You don't see people buying 'thanksgiving sweaters'. Decorations are kept to a delicious turkey and the side dishes. It's all about people being with people, what holidays are SUPPOSED to be about. It's about giving thanks for all the amazing benefits we are awarded by being citizens of the US, and celebrating our families and friends. It's about taking a four day weekend. THAT's what I'm talking about. Man I can't wait for weds at 6pm.
Incidentally, Mere and I are in CO for 'giving this year. We'll eat with some friends and are looking much forward to it. We really will miss our family, tho. Hard to be away from them on the holidays. REALLY wish there were here with us.
There's all kinds of fun activities slated for the weekend, but I gotta say- I'm bummed we have no snow. First day of snowboarding woulda been sweet this weekend. Oh where hath thou gone, great snowmaker in the sky?

Best. Holiday. Ever.
No question for me...
Amen brother....
I got a thanksgiving sweater. It has all the gravy and giblet stains from yesteryear. To boot, it's an XXXXL...yet somehow, it's always tight by the end of the day.
So if Santa Claus is the official mascot of X-mas, who is the official mascot of Turkey day. Jabba the Hut?
We will miss both of you at Chez Weevil this year. Getting ready to head over there now for some tukey stuffin' and wicky drinkin'...gonna be a late one tonight, me thinks.
Chris is on his way from NYC...nasty traffic-took him over an hour just to get out of the city...and we should see him later tonight for the prep work. Will be missing and thinking about you both.
And, no question about it...this is the best $^%# holiday, period.
Ando, you are so right...it's truly the best holiday. No pressure to do anything but relax with family and friends and just eat and drink and be merry. We miss you so much...but are glad you have a great holiday planned with your buds out in CO. Happy Thanksgiving one and all...we are so thankful for you and Mere...much love. Miss you...
