Wow. This thread has really taken a depressing turn.
For my family, it is a time to be thankful for everyone we have. And yes, a feast will be produced in my house tomorrow. We will have lots o' meat, potatoes and stuffing, boatloads of gravy to pour on everything, rolls slathered with butter, desserts coming out of our ears, etc. And when we sit down at the table overflowing with all these wonderful foods, we will say a prayer of thanks for everything that we have.
Now the downside to that is that, since we do not waste in my house, I will be eating those foods for the better part of the following week - LOL. But to me it is worth it.
An yes, there will be football! Lots of football, including a night game where I hope that Pats will nail the Jets' casket shut for the season!
And who can forget the Macy's Parade. It is a time honored tradition.
Now am I really all that caught up in most of this? Heck no, except perhaps the Pats game tomorrow night.

But I'm not going to let my own feelings take away from what should be a special day for my children, who will no doubt sneak extra treats when they think that we aren't looking - LOL - and otherwise have a day that is dedicated to their family.
With that, I'm going to exit this thread with a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are going to actually enjoy it.
