Wouldn't be a holiday without grandpa wanting to know why it can't be called "White Friday". No, it isn't because they're trying to take over.

Happy Thanksgiving and Safe Travels if you are not home for the holiday.

Late to the game, but hope you had a good one! Traveled safely to the mothership on Wednesday (in spite of the plane having a bad motor) and back home on Saturday.

But regardless...you were thankful

I forgot just how big a deal T-day is in Boston. Just about everything was shut down and you could have tossed a bowling ball down Comm Ave without hitting a thing. Still, it was nice to be back and to share some time with family.

Wait, I thought 1MOREMOD was the resident alien. Now, we don't know whether alien or not, in addition to your questionable genital anatomy????

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Got this from Amica. Thought it was very lovely and would like to share with you folks on here.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. And watch those damn tourists - be careful out there. They were already on the road at 6:00 am. Please explain to me why someone who is petrified to drive thinks it's a good idea to be on the road, in the dark, with commuters. These two types of drivers do not mix well.

Be safe and enjoy your bird.

When Was Thanksgiving Declared A Holiday? Before Abraham Lincoln several Presidents declared one time Thanksgiving Holiday. It was Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1863 which officially made Thanksgiving Day a holiday.


Washington, D.C.
October 3, 1863

By the President of the United States of America.

A Proclamation.

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the Eighty-eighth.

By the President: Abraham Lincoln

William H. Seward,
Secretary of State

Happy turkey day to the Americans! Enjoy those succulent breasts or tender thighs to the extent you have been allotted them.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[UncleWede]

I wish you all a festive time with family/friends, or even just with your self. May you relish all that the bountiful experience of life has given you, both good and bad, over the past year.
Remember too, those less fortunate than yourself. No matter your station in life, there IS someone who meets that description.
