Lately, I'm not so sure. Thanksgiving is beginning to seem more and more like Black Friday Eve, a day for families to get together and plan where they're going to shop the next day.

As far as Columbus Day is concerned -- IMO we should have replaced it with "Eric the Red Day" a long time ago. ;)

Which reminds me that a day or two ago I saw--or heard--something somewhere about it having been discovered that some Icelanders have some genes in common with Native Americans. 8)

Oh no! It's almost Thanksgiving week and I haven't yet laid by "extra foil and plastic wrap, kitchen twine, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper"!!!

Oi. And this year they'll even be shopping on Thanksgiving. :-\
(I suppose it's odd that it doesn't bother me that people may want to shop on Thanksgiving, but I feel sorry for the store employees who have to work so that others can shop. My heart always goes out to anyone working in retail this time of year.)
