Thanksgiving, HAPPY TURKEY DAY! Options

[Righteous]

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

Does anyone have any plans? Mine include dealing with Rick (he says I'm bullshitting, but I really do lose the urge to clean when he PMSes on me) then eating food with my family (the six of us and maybe some others) and my friend Alan at like fourish.

Alan, Rick and I have an evil plan. Alan's family eats rediculously early and about the time they're finishing up, we're starting, so he come over here to eat. After that, Alan, Rick and I are going to our friend's mom's place because they eat much later than we do. Yeah, I know it's bad, but it's tasty.

So yeah, for those of you who celebrate it, what are y'all doing?

There was a story about how this is the day that the pilgrims who colonized america and the indians who lived here in the first place got together and had this huge feast.

Although in reality (Accourding to my sister) the pilgrims were just tricking the indians into a fake sense of security right before they chased them off of their own land. They are currently gettting back at us (Accourding to my grandmother) with casinos.
(This explanation has been brought to you by the odd conversations that my family has when we gather around a table together.)

It is supposed to be a day where we stop and think about just how lucky we are to have clothes and food and a family that loves us, when there are so many others in the world who do not have those things.

But it is mostly about eating until you pass out.

I don't _think_ it always falls on the same day - but I've been known to be wrong.
Edit: I was right:

The U.S. Congress in 1941 split the difference and established that the Thanksgiving would occur annually on the fourth Thursday of November, which was sometimes the last Thursday and sometimes the next to last. On November 26 that year President Roosevelt signed this bill into U.S. law.
