Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on the board! For those of you who are not familiar with this holiday, it's an important family holiday for many Americans and there are certain foods that everyone eats. Of course, many people are vegetarian or they like to put their own special touches on the dinner, so they don't have these things. But, today we'll be eating turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and of course, my favorite, pumpkin pie!

The day after Thanksgiving signals the "official" start of the Christmas shopping season (even though many stores have had Christmas items for months already )in the US, and many people will head to the stores as early as 6:00 in the morning to find bargains on Christmas gifts! Many people do not have to go to work on Friday, so the spend the day shopping instead.

Have a great weekend everyone!
