Thanksgiving

Maybe this isn't the most appropriate time to mention this, but Thanksgiving has to be the greatest holiday ever. The whole purpose of it is to gather w/ your family and eat, and thanks to the NFL watch football. If I could choose how to spend time w/ my family, we would get together to eat and watch football. You have the anticipation of the upcoming Christmas holiday (or Hanukkah or solstice celebration). It's always on a Thursday, so you get a 4 day weekend. And it really is the truest American holiday. Canada also has a Thanksgiving, but until there is a CFL doubleheader it's not on equal footing w/ American Thanksgiving. The rest of the world thinks of an entirely different sport when us Yanks say football. Maybe I'm just lucky and get to enjoy 2 turkey dinners on one day and I've come to realize that is my version of heaven, or I know that no real work is accomplished at the job until the new year, but man I can't wait until this year's Thanksgiving.
