Well we had a great Thanksgiving Day. About 25 people were here for dinner. Had 12 players in the football game, and we had an honest to goodness feast afterwards. Everyone brought home a good portion of leftovers and I have a bunch too. I am loving seeing all that food I get to eat.

The one thing that really stood out for me this year is that no one, not one person, mentioned "Black Friday". Not once. I consider that to be a pretty big thing.

I hope it's a sign that the "Black Friday Starts Thursday" marketing scheme has begun to lose its momentum and that people are beginning to take their Thanksgiving Holiday back, but I know for a fact that the people who were with us on Thanksgiving never gave it up, and I'm thankful to have friends like that.
