Ahhh, Thanksgiving.

Has anyone ever noticed that probably the biggest week of the year for America is Thanksgiving week?

The day before Thanksgiving is known as the biggest bar night in the year (due to people not having to work the next day and people having a "homecoming" with their buddies).

Thanksgiving, of course, is the biggest gluttony celebration there is, AND there is football on that day AND parades.

Then, of course, is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which is known to be the busiest shopping day of the year, when most people do their Christmas shopping.

What joy. All in celebration of a little event where some Native Americans taught pilgrims how to grow corn to survive the long season ahead, and the pilgrims returned the favor by giving them disease and stealing their land.



How proud I am to say "I'M AMERICAN!"
