Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, not the history of it, which is fucked up, but more the idea that there is a holiday with a least a loose idea of gathering with friends and family and being thankful for what we have. I know I have more than I deserve in good family, friends, health, and material things, and I am genuinely and deeply grateful. Actually, I'm pretty amazed and humored by it all on most days, even by you guys. May you all have a safe and fun day.

Did you guys know before Halloween came into its own, there was for a time, "Thanksgiving Masking" (door to door for apples, etc. for the later meal)? Just found that out this morning.

Anyway, on the birth and death of holidays, with Halloween increasingly becoming an international and adult one, and Christmas decorations extending to at least it, I wonder how much longer Thanksgiving has? Which is too bad, because as my friend Melissa says, Thanksgiving is the lower stress, good stuff from Christmas - getting together with family and friends, a spirit in the air where strangers are ever so slightly nicer to one another, a wonderful meal, and presents - which you've already got. Hoping you all a great one.
