This is the only time of the year when Canada and the U.S. have a same-named holiday on different days (we already had ours, in October). The difference is that we don't make a big tied-to-our-origin-story deal about it like you do.
I love this. We obviously don’t have the Thanksgiving tradition in the UK but I absolutely agree that family is what you make it and can come from anywhere!
The TLC article linked to here is excellent too. Thanks very much.
This is a great description of the kind of job all of us depend on but don't really understand.
We deep-fry turkeys here in Alabama, too. And you were lucky if the turkey was the only thing htat arrived deep-fried . Are you sure nobody also brought, say, deep-fried okra (a popular appetizer or side in the South)? Your memory may have blocked out, mercifully, some of the other items that have made Crisco the official fat of the region.
Happy Thanksgiving, Kevin. Have a great weekend and week!
Happy T-day to you as well! Hope your week (and move prep) is going smoothly!
I love that you are grateful for your Thanksgiving tradition instead of being resentful about having to work on a holiday as many people would be.
I hope you and everyone here has a Happy Thanksgiving! And for anyone who doesn't celebrate, have a happy Day Before Black Friday. ;-)
P.S. TIL "dimictic." Great factoid!
Thank you Dave! Who doesn't like a little limnology with their music newsletter? :)

You bet! I'm glad you liked it!
Oh dang, thanks so much for the mention and kind words. Thankful for you, friend!
Of course! It’s a great track!
Happy Thanksgiving! I love this story. I hope you and your colleagues have a fab time!
Thank you! Fingers crossed for a nice, easy day…
Such a great story and journey that’s still unfolding. Grateful I can call you friend thanks to this funny platform. Enjoy the sweet potato feast! 🍂🧡
Likewise! I’m happy we’ve connected here. :)

It's certainly possible there was some there! I'm going off memory here, but IIRC, I'm the only one that didn't bring home-cooked food.
