Thanksgiving

1. Loving People. Everyone out there, that is nice to one another. I AM THANKFUL FOR YOU! 2. Family 3. My two beautiful sons 4. A husband that puts up with me

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. This has understandably annoyed retail employees, who now have to work on what was previously a holiday. It also isn't necessarily winning over consumers.

Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that just sort of comes and goes. I rarely do anything to get ready for it, nor do I spend much time celebrating it. For most Americans, Thanksgiving is about dinner and football. But at my house, things go a little differently.

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"

Every year there are family members at our Thanksgiving table that fight over the wishbone. Some of my relatives will knock other people out for a chance at breaking the wishbone.

For many of us, Thanksgiving dinner takes place at the dining room table.

I have noticed that a lot of people are in Twin Falls for the holidays and it seems like they have been in town all week. Millions of people awkwardly staying together under one roof.  So . . . how long is TOO LONG to stay with your family over the holidays?

There is still time to find a few holiday travel deals before Thanksgiving weekend. 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.

Bizarre presentation, unusual flavor and the “oddball factor” add new elements to this great tradition. If you're feeling playful and adventurous, you could add a few of these items to your menu.

This is a really big year for us.  For the first time ever, my wife and I are going to be hosting Thanksgiving with more than just us and our two kids.  Going from the four of us, to a house of fourteen has brought up some questions.
