I hope y'all have a happy Thanksgiving.

Gobble?

(Happy Turkey Day!)

I'm making ham, as usual.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, and to everyone who celebrates the day!

Thanksgiving eh..? My country SO needs to get more holidays  

Yes. Merry thanksgiving to all, and to all a good night.

Or something like that.

I was once asked by an American if the British celebrated thanksgiving.  

Have a good one (https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg528.imageshack.us%2Fimg528%2F615%2Fcheerstx3.gif&hash=288985b1fb2aca6cf10f10872774679b4e1b03c6)

Can Thanksgiving be generally related to the enslavement and killings of indigenous people by pilgrams?
I only asked because my brother thinks so.

Thanks Thump! You too!

Yeah, pretty much. To quote Jon Stewart:

QuoteI celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

Every year for as long as I can remember it's the same. Mama's family, and I mean all the brothers and sisters and their damn stupid kids, all the cousins and nephews and Mama's old aunt and uncle and their dumb daughter, who works at the post office, they all come to our house for Thanksgiving.

Daddy doesn't have any family except for a brother, Uncle Jimmy, who everyone calls J.P. He and Daddy sit out in the living room drinking Ben Hill whisky all day while they're looking at the TV. Daddy can't stand my Mama's relatives.

Me and Trey, he's my cousin the closest to my age, we go out to the garage and smoke pot and tinker on my motorcycle and play our rock music CDs. We both like that metal music.

Miss Henry from next door always comes over too, on account of the fact that she lives alone and has insinuated herself into our family over the years. She's a dirty old lady who always tries to kiss me on the head, but I'm too fast for her.

One of my cousins, Crystal, she's really pretty but she's about as ignorant as they come. I swear that girl doesn't know the difference between a wood chipper and a chain saw.

Eventually one of my other cousins, Denny, comes out to the garage to snort cocaine, but do you think he offers any to me or Trey? He thinks he's really something just because he's the manager of the Quick N' Pick.

Mama calls us all in to supper and the little babies are running around screaming like stuck pigs. Daddy and Uncle J.P. are so drunk they can hardly pick up their napkins. Mama's Uncle Lem always says the grace and then we start eating all that food. Miss Henry always brings some kind of jello-thing that's got tomatoes in it. She grows them in her garden.

I'm thinking that after supper I might try to get Crystal to come up to my room. I'm pretty sure she's never been with a boy and I guess I'd like to be the first one. She's real skinny but she's got all that long shiny yellow hair.

I don't know how she got that yellow hair. All the rest of us, our hair is brown.

What a lovely Thanksgiving family affair! Like I've seen it in "Step-brother." Is Miss Henry married?

Miss Henry's been a widow for ten years, ever since her husband Leroy was stabbed to death in prison. He was serving seventeen years for the armed robbery of a tire store.

Turkey revenge is a dish best served with cranberries!

(thank you, sir)

Thanks for the turkey song, joeactor.  :heyhey:

Happy Thanksgiving to you, and to all the rest of HAF! (Those that will be observing it, anyway.  ;))

I'm observing it from a distance  ;D

Happy Turkey day to one and all.  Three generations at my table today, No one thought it necessary to say grace.  I am properly thankful for all the good things that have been bestowed on me.

At HAF, thank you Rec, Tank, Whitney, xSP, Asmo, and all the rest.

Small crowd last night. Just the wife and I, her sister,  and my parents. Small is good. Hope everyone had a happy day!

Glad you had a good time. :)

I'm a little late to the party :P

For those who celebrate it and those who don't, I hope you all had a wonderful Thursday/Thanksgiving day. :)

My twins were born on 26th Nov so Thanksgiving falls on their birthday some years.
