Before I Forget - Happy Thanksgiving

[Chips]

To all my fellow USA affiliates and those overseas that will be celebrating the holiday I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! (scroll down to bottom)



May your stuffing be tasty. May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious.

May your pies take the prize.
May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
HAVE A BLESSED THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving Chips. Have a great holiday!

What is your favourite Thanksgiving tradition and dish?

I am really not a turkey fan but I put up with it for the sake of the family. As far as tradition, since I taught my wife to cook the bird, I was relieved of that duty. So my jobs are, baking the pumpkin pie (today), making the gravy, and selecting the wine(s).

After dinner is football, we always eat early so it does not interfere with the Cowboys. My life long dream is to be a Cowboys Stadium for a Thanksgiving day game!

Happy thanks giving everyone!

Not sure when it is or what it is really, however, i do understand it is a very important time for you all. With that in mind i hope you all have a great time.

Can you save a few turkeys for us please as Christmas is close and we like a turkey or two as well!

As a person who knows what Thanksgiving is about, although technically an outsider, I'm baffled why many people say things like, "happy holidays" at this time of year. This is the second time I have been in the US at this time and wondered last time as well. What holidays does this refer to other than Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is the start of the commercial holiday shopping season, Christmas where the bulk of the business is done.

You'll here "Black Friday" that was a phrase coined from being the biggest shopping day of the year and the day that could pull a store into the black profit wise.

Happy Holiday's is the PC way of saying Merry Christmas and rather lumps Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's day into the saying.

Here you go Chalkie and anyone else scratching their heads about Thanksgiving. This is USA but Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving on a different date. (not sure when). We give thanks for our blessings and totally pig out, then nap and/or watch football and then pig out again.

Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, presently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. It did not become a federal holiday until 1941. Thanksgiving was historically a religious observation to give thanks to God, but is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.[1]

The First Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the pilgrims survive the brutal winter. The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Indians. The traditional Thanksgiving menu often features turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. Americans may eat these foods on modern day Thanksgiving, but the first feast did not consist of these items. On the first feast turkey was any type of fowl that the pilgrims hunted. Pumpkin pie wasn't on the menu because there were no ovens for baking, but they did have boiled pumpkin. Cranberries weren't introduced at this time. Due to the diminishing supply of flour there was no bread of any kind. The foods included in the first feast included duck, geese, venison, fish, lobster, clams, swan, berries, dried fruit, pumpkin, squash, and many more vegetables.
