Being that my dad and I are both footloose and fancy-free bachelors, we are going to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa for Thanksgiving. We're gonna gamble, drink and chase women. He'll be chasing them down on his scooter. He's 81. LOL.

Since Laura is a bit under the weather now, we just picked up a Wegman's fully cooked dinner and trims for tomorrow.
I know we will be thankful for every moment, every friend and every blessing we have. I wish the same for all of you and yours and may you be happy for what you receive.

Happy thanksgiving to all.
"Long before man warred with man, the gods battled among themselves. Indeed it was the wars of the gods that the wars of man began. For the wars of the gods for control of the earth began on their own planet. It was thus that mankinds first civilization succumbed to a nuclear holocaust. This is fact not fiction, and its all been written down a long time ago."Posted 6 months ago # -

Woot! for Wegman's! I didn't realize they had gotten as far south a VA! Excellent. For those who don't know, Wegman's is a supermarket chain (which originated here) that (while it can be pricey at times) is the best grocery experience you'll ever have. I've been too many places that don't have one and wonder how anyone gets any shopping done without it.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and I hope you can find lots of things to be thankful for in these hard times.
BTW - can anyone explain to a Brit; why is Thanksgiving so late in the year?

It's actually kinda early. It usually floats around the 26th or 27th. That's what happens when it's one of those holidays that doesn't have a set date. Like Easter.

The rule is it's the fourth Thursday of every November.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Bootleg family and furballs! Today's going to be a mini-pipe club meeting since we've converted the in-laws to the joys of the pipe.
Kevin - chasing women sounds like so much more fun than eating turkey with the in-laws.

Thanks for the link - I hadn't realised that the "4th Thursday in November" date for Thanksgiving was set so recently. I have also heard that it helps keep the onset of Christmas Mania in the shops at bay until after this week - is that true?

Happy Thanksgiving to all even if I'm here in Italy and we don't have a similar holiday.But i must tell you that turkeys have all my sympathy

Happy thanksgiving to one and all, keep your pipe bowls filled with your favorite blends all day long!

Nope, in fact, it has turned into just the opposite. Thanksgiving in the U.S. kicks off "Black Friday" sales; similar to Boxing Day sales as celebrated in Canada (and the rest of the Commonwealth?). The biggest bonus to this is that in an effort to keep Canadian bucks in Canada, we too now have Black Friday before Christmas, and Boxing Day after.
Well the Christmas displays and music might not be up yet (although it is in full swing in Vancouver), these are often the best deals of the year for Americans, so yeah, the malls are full on seasonal hell.Posted 6 months ago # -
Thanks for the answer Schmitzblitz. We do have a Boxing Day holiday in the UK the day after Christmas, which is when the sales used to start. In these tough economic times though, there are lots of pre-Christmas sales going on this year.
At least Thanksgiving doesn't seem to have become the commercial nightmare that the other holidays have become. Just a great big feast and a chance to recognise that we should be thankful for what we do have. Wish we had it over here too!

Man, what a great Thanksgiving it has been thus far. I'm with my family, kids are playing, belly is full and now I'm sitting in the basement of my wife's aunt and uncles' house, which is a gigantic early 1800's farmhouse out in the corn belt of Ohio and they are letting me smoke inside! Its awesome, a nostalgic expe
rience. I am enjoying Mac Baren Club Blend in my only briar and I have much to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless all of you.
By the eternal! There is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze and the statue placed in every college in the land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies; do the thing - "carry a message to Garcia!"

You learn something new every day! I knew that Boxing Day was celebrated throughout the Commonwealth (it is, after all, an English holiday), but I wasn't sure if, like here, it was simply a stat with amazing sales.
It would be interesting to celebrate Boxing Day as it was in times past; where servants and masters exchange places for 24 hours. Although, I suppose that wont happen in my household until my "servant" (read: son) puts on a few more years and becomes useful for something other than creating bodily fluids and melting hearts.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it! Gonna spend the day earning time and a half and then celebrating with a pipe when I get home.

Boxing Day is a Public Holiday which means that we get an extra days holiday if it falls on a weekend. The is some debate, but the common answer to the question "where does it come from" is - Churches in the Middle Ages had collection boxes for the poorest in the community which were opened on St. Stephens Day, which is the 26th December and divided amongst the needy.
I guess, in America, there is a tradition of making sure many homeless people get the chance to enjoy a good meal with many food centres offering a Thanksgiving dinner.

I asked my dad if he was going to my aunt's house (his sister). If he would have said yes, I would have said, have a good time!
Since he said no, then I said, let's meet up at The Hard Rock, and it was a done deal.
They had the traditional Thanksgiving fare on the menu, but I opted for prime rib and a Fuente Gran Reserva.
