Don't bother to answer the "unobservant" part of the question. :)

Hope all those of you below the 49th enjoy your Thanksgiving. :punch

Or Puerto Rico or Guam or U.S. Virgin Islands or American Samoa or Northern Mariana Islands or Midway Islands or Wake Island or Johnston Atoll or Baker, Howland, and Jarvis Islands or Kingman Reef or Navassa Island or Palmyra Atoll or wherever else U.S. citizens might happen to be in the world. :cheers

Although I've lived more years in Canada than I did in the U.S., I still can't get used to celebrating Thanksgiving in early October instead of late November. I know October is closer to harvest time and Thanksgiving is essentially a harvest festival but I guess growing up with it in November is some how imprinted in my genes. Of course, having Thansgiving fall on my birthday in some years made for a nice birthday dinner and more gifts than my brothers tended to receive with fewer family members at their birthday dinners. :cartman

Yeah, happy Thanksgiving to you all. We have a helluva lot to be thankful for, don't forget that. We're flying to Atlanta tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving with our son, his wonderful wife and our simply awesome new grand daughter. It just doesn't get any better than that.

I also give people a day off for my birthday on the last Thursday of November from time to time. :thumb 26th for me.

Actually history shows that thanksgiving came about because of a woman, can't remember her name, who got the ball going during the Civil War. Lincoln proclaimed it and said it was a day set aside to thank God for out blessings. At the time it really didn't have anything to do with harvest.
