Well, I'm not as bad as I come across, Bel, you catch more flies with
honey than vinegar, as my grandma (my dad's mom) used to say, lololol..

Carl just asked me if I was still sick! I generally put off the holiday with everything I have. I don't know what happened, this is rather scary.

You shuld have seen me, in the storage unit downstairs, Bel, I was stacking
up boxes and chairs to get to the Christmas wreath, lights, and paper in the back. It was pretty funny.

It must be contagious. I had Carl bring the Christmas stuff in today. Mind you I generally put it out after Pam nags me to the point that I want to scream.

Bel, well here's hoping NEXT Thanksgiving is a quiet family one.
I am getting in the holiday mood, for the first time possibly ever in my life. I''m running around putting out candles and putting up the wreath. What is wrong with me?

No Problem Bhas
The tradition actually is supposed to date back to the pilgrims. At least the turkey part. While turkey is not the stated meat, they did gather Fowl which could be turkey, duck or chicken. I think turkey became the chosen meat because it's bigger than the others and can feed more.

It is the traditional meal. Turkey, stuffing, mashed pototoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries and Pumpkin pie there is usually a vegatable and at least one salad as well. It is also obviously our day to eat to darn much LOL!

Hi bel,
Is it customary for American's to eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day? Elsewhere too I've been reading this.

A while back, I got food poisoning from Chinese food.
I ordered take out and the guy was at my door in 15 minutes. A bell should have gone off in my head? I was so sick, I didn't work for 3 days. Oh, and I didn't eat chinese for a whole year.
I'm glad this Thanksgiving was a good one for you!
