Re: Thanksgiving 2011 Megathread

We don't do Thanksgiving, don't much see the point when it doesn't mean anything to us. We're looking forward to a break from the regular school and work routine though and are going to spend Wednesday Thursday away so the kids can swim and have some fun. Friday my Mother in Law arrives.

Methinks the descendants of the original inhabitants of the US do NOT refer to themselves as aborigines.

It's DS's 17th birthday...good job he likes turkey

So we'll be at home enjoying some fine wine and watching some comedy DVDs. Probably will have to let DS and OH watch some football at some stage

As you go into the Main Street, from Niagara Falls, it's halfway up on the right.

They will also do a Tea or Coffee for you, too.
