I wish you all a great day in your celebrations, i know you guys will get a laugh out of this, but can someone tell me what is Thanks giving day :confused:

The Pilgrim's first Thanksgiving was held in 1621, to celebrate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter. In that year Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. The colonists celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians.
Days of thanksgiving were celebrated throughout the colonies after fall harvests. All 13 colonies did not, however, celebrate Thanksgiving at the same time until October 1777. George Washington was the first president to declare the holiday, in 1789. By the mid-1800s, many states observed a Thanksgiving holiday. Meanwhile, the poet and editor Sara Josepha Hale had begun lobbying for a national Thanksgiving holiday. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln, looking for ways to unite the nation, discussed the subject with Hale. In 1863 he gave his Thanksgiving Proclamation, declaring the last Thursday in November a day of thanksgiving. In 1939, 1940, and 1941 Franklin D. Roosevelt, seeking to lengthen the Christmas shopping season, proclaimed Thanksgiving the third Thursday in November. Controversy followed, and Congress passed a joint resolution in 1941 decreeing that Thanksgiving should fall on the fourth Thursday of November, where it remains.

oh...and it's day of food food food...parades and football. :D then more food.

thank you brian for asking. :)

Unfortunately--
 

--not all the hustle and bustle is stopping today (or even slowing down).

As most know, the Firday after Thanksgivng is the busiest shopping day of the year in the US, with many retailers having massive price reduction sales that start at ungodly hours of the morning, causing rowdy crowds to gather and jostle and break outin angry disputes--obviously to promote good will towards our fellow human beings for the holiday season.

I have just been informed, though, by the more shoppingly inclined, that a number of retailers, notably Wal-mart and Sears, worried over the state of the economy and thier bottom lines, are starting said sales today. in fact, they've been going on for a few hours now.

I'm wondering, after I put the turkey in the oven, if I should wander over to the local Sears and watch the show. Best free theater in the area. Not buy anything (shopping anywhere but in a supermarket or on-line is like getting my fingernails pulled out in slow-motion), but watch. :p
