It's the most tradliest day of the year!
Seriously though, folks, on this day a great many years ago our forefathers sat down to dinner in a harsh land of hunger, disease and hostile natives. They thanked God because all of that was a hell of a lot better than living in England.
And guess what, I'll have a proper thanksgiving turkey for the first time tonight...and pumkin pie...
Exceedingly interesting, I know.
How is it that you've come to be a part of this observance, eris? More importantly, what will you wear?
I sat on Cabot's knee today for a photo - True, is that - There's a statue of him down near by where Staceyboy & I drink On The Waterfront here.

The local American studies department http://www.hca.uni-heidelberg.de/index_en.html is having a thanksgiving ceremony, so how could I miss out on that?
I thought the natives pitched in with the grub in some way?
And didn't the Whities bring their own diseases wiv them?
