Yeah, Govinda, basically Thanksgiving is being thankful for what you have in general. It's based on an event in which the Pilgrims had a big feast with the Native Americans, so our history lessons tell us.
Personally, I'm going over to my parents' house soon, here, and hanging out there most the day. I might also go see Fantastic Mr. Fox, and I have Up to watch as well. Then there will be some shopping tomorrow. Although technically, when it was officially Thanksgiving, I was at a bar with my brother. I had two rum & cokes and some orange chicken. Met a bunch of people who know my bro, and talked to this one guy for a bit about our jobs, and everyone being unemployed. It was lovely. Then I slept on my bro's couch for a few hours, then drove home.
Dodie, I feel sorry for you. I had to work one Thanksgiving too, and yeah, it was fricken' busy that day. I was outside all morning and a bit into the afternoon, serving up gas for people. It was freezing at the beginning, too; my feet were getting stuck to the ground, ha. Hope you get some leftovers! (I brought home the turkey that year, so there was definitely some for me.)
Happy Thanksgiving, all. Anyhoo...
Wuv, Yer Mom
