I love Thanksgiving too. For me its all about family... Me and my son, make "thankful trees" and we make leaves out of construction paper, and write things that we are greatful for on them. And ofcourse, a great meal with family and friends. Whats better than that!

To me it means yet another bogus holiday:
In 1637 near present day Groton, Connecticut, over 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe had gathered for their annual Green Corn Festival which is our Thanksgiving celebration. In the predawn hours the sleeping Indians were surrounded by English and Dutch mercenaries who ordered them to come outside. Those who came out were shot or clubbed to death while the terrified women and children who huddled inside the longhouse were burned alive. The next day the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared "A Day Of Thanksgiving" because 700 unarmed men, women and children had been murdered.

my family is completely disfunctional so i like to skip the family part and most people agree there is just no good way to cook a turkey so it tastes like anything. november is a good month to down a good bottle of merlot though (good=not the california kind).
