Jackie — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:23:20 +0000

Since Thanksgiving I have heard lots of different stories about Thanksgiving dinner going a little different than planned.

Do You Approve of 'Black Friday' Starting on Thanksgiving Day? — Survey of the Day

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 03:00:42 +0000

The big gimmick this Thanksgiving season is retailers beginning their Black Friday sales on Thursday, a day previously reserved for turkey and football with the family.

Terry Morgan — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 18:32:06 +0000

The Funniest Memes for Thanksgiving 2012

Emerald Catron — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:02:04 +0000

It's that time again. Thanksgiving -- you eat until you're sick, post endless "artsy" photos of your sweet potato gratin on Facebook and drink as much as you can so you can deal with your Uncle Rick. Before descending into pure turkey madness, purvey these memes, and perhaps the memory of them will get you through the annual lecture on what "those politicians up on Capitol Hill" are really "up to."

Do You Have Any Good Smoked Turkey Recipes?

Brad Weiser — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:49:42 +0000

Last summer, we bought a smoker and so far, we love the food that comes out of it. I’ve been kicking around the idea of smoking our turkey this year instead of roasting it. A lot of you with smokers have said that after smoking your turkey, you’d never go back to roasting. You’ve convinced [...]

However, with last-minute flightscosting as much as $200 more than those booked in advance, it’s hard to say just how good those deals will be.

Sure, the food at Thanksgiving is great. But in our opinion, the real star of this holiday is the terrifying artwork brought home from elementary school art class.

There are tons of things we love about Thanksgiving, like how it’s socially acceptable to dress up as a pilgrim in public. (Other people do that too, right?)
