| Thanksgiving for the USA is this Thursday. Many folks have either the entire week off or most of the week off beginning on Wednesday. For those not in the USA or not familiar with it, it's the day we celebrate 132 Europeans arriving in North America on the ship The Mayflower in 1620 at what is now Massachusetts and being welcomed by the local Indian tribes and having the very "First Thanksgiving" dinner. At the "First Thanksgiving" the Pilgrims and Native Americans (Wampanoag tribe) likely ate a meal consisting of venison (deer brought by the Native Americans), wildfowl (including possibly turkey), various types of seafood like lobster, mussels, and fish, corn, beans, squash, and local fruits and nuts, with little resemblance to the modern Thanksgiving meal which includes dishes like mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie; there's no record of a large roasted turkey being served at the time. Somewhere along the way since 1620, someone decided the turkey is to become the National Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey became a traditional part of Thanksgiving dinner for a number of reasons, including: Plentiful - Turkeys were plentiful in New England, where they were often given to soldiers during the Civil War. Cheap -Turkeys were inexpensive. Big enough to feed a family - Turkeys were large enough to feed a family, making them a popular choice for large gatherings. Raised for meat - Turkeys were raised primarily for their meat, unlike cows and hens, which were useful for milk and eggs.

| I don't dispute the validity of your statement but could had leave politics out of it for once or start a separate thread about it.  This is hilarious!! | |

| Popeye's selling out their turkeys again. Incredible that folks are willing to pay $99 for it and sides are extras. https://thecajunfix.popeyes.com/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2024/10/16/popeyes-cajun-style-turkey/75704355007/ | |

| One if not the best Christmas movie out there. Here are eight Christmas things I found (there are no doubt more): 1. The basic narrative situation of Die Hard is a man returning to his family for Christmas. 2. His wife is called Holly. 3. It takes place on Christmas Eve. Not Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July. It could have been set any week of the year, but wasn’t. 4. The chief villain Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) explicitly invokes the Christmas spirit: “It’s Christmas, Theo, it’s a time for miracles.” 5. Gruber is a classic bad capitalist villain: he’s there to steal money. Just as Old Man Potter does in It’s a Wonderful Life. 6. The soundtrack features Christmas tunes new and old: Run DMC’s Christmas in Hollis and Frank Sinatra’s rendition of Let it Snow. 7. Santa Claus makes an appearance (in the form of a dead terrorist). 8. The film ends with the of character of limo driver Argyle (De'voreaux White) looking forward to New Year’s Eve.
