I'm a New Englander; I've never heard of celebrating this during Thanksgiving

No most American don't really know the history. It is interesting, do some searching on the internet or go yo the links I posed above. But don't let it spoil your turkey, we all have lots to give thanks for.

My family were confederates, great great grandfather was captured at Gettysburg. I grew up hearing both sides, but we always had turkey.

Oh, we, are the folks who celebrate the US Thanksgiving holiday, you and me included. I was talking about the origins of the holiday, not what we today are thinking so much.

I have enjoyed deep fried turkey once when I was down South. It's very delicious; the only problem is you don't get any gravy from it.

fried turkey

Tried to do it once. The oil boiled over, and started a fire, not easily put out. Damaged the deck, but were able to save the house.

I am on longer allowed to fry the turkey. But I do like it when others do.

No gravy. That would be a problem.

Absolutely!

Most of our holidays are based in myth. I do approve of the idea of a Thanksgiving holiday.

So do I. I love celebrations!

A friend wrote that when he went to the grocery store, turkeys were “flying out the door” because of Thanksgiving. I would have liked to have seen the de-feathered, undead birds in flight, because I like to carry a piece of Halloween around with me ‘year-round…

…and wouldn’t such a turkey be a poultry-Geist?

Smart chick. She knows the quickest way to a mans heart is through his stomach.

This rates a solid 10

Just today I made the decision to stay home for Thanksgiving rather than go to be with Julie, her mom and family. Julie's mom JUST got over covid, and their county here in Western NY is having very high numbers. Being that I live in a senior apartment building, with many people in their 70s and 80s (oldest here is 96) some with compromised health .

We are doing a pot luck dinner here for folks staying home. One lady is buying and preparing the Turkey and stuffing. Everyone else providing dishes to pass. Will be fun.

I told Julie let us all make sure everyone is well, and really do up Christmas.

I always listen to or watch Alice's Restaurant, it's a Thanksgiving story.
