Hubby is supposedly going to have the day off, I'll probably make a small dinner and then we might take the little one to the cinema to see the Muppets, that way he can't be on his laptop or phone working

Re: Thanksgiving 2011 Megathread
Just wandering if people do a religious Thanksgiving or not. My lot have a generic giving of thanks, so if you have a god it can be to that god, if not its to society or your hard work or good luck or whatever you view appropriate; but there is always a moment before eating when people out loud state what they are thankful for from the previous year.

Off to the Oregon coast tomorrow. Rented a house on the beach and two sons and their families, us and daughter-in-laws parents who we get on well with, will have 5 days of food and booze. That's is the 90 mph winds forecast with the rain don't wash us into the sea. Might be some shopping and casino thrown in plus the Civil War football game.
We're off to the Oregon coast on Wednesday.... I won't be a happy camper if the electricity goes out!

Just unpacked Mom's china that had been boxed up for over 15 years. The china was first purchased over 45 years ago. I was so pleased to find it in great condition. I almost didn't mind handwashing everything this past weekend for Thanksgiving Dinner.

You are so right it does not really sound so bad doesn't it because one day my dad will not be here to enjoy Thanksgiving with me. I guess your dad is back in the UK and you can not be there with him. Thats so sad . Have a good Thanksgiving.
Well that sucks. You must be so sad about your husband not being at your side during those holidays. I am so sorry to hear that your husband has to work all those days. I hope that those days go well for you.
Have a great holiday season.

Thank you, I hope you have a great holiday season too! I'm used to it to be honest, he's a fire fighter so during the peak season he can be gone for a few days up to a few weeks!

I have a lot of respect for your husbands job and for what he does for people. but it sucks that he is gone a lot and misses a lot of holidays with his family but that is part of the job. At lest you are use to it. That is good to know.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
*facepalm*
Do you literally know so little about, well, everything?
Thanksgiving was first observed as a national holiday when President George Washington issued a proclamation for thanksgiving after the establishment of the first congress in 1789. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln reinstated a national Thanksgiving Day which was observed on the last Thursday of November.
