What is it with Hal David and animal lyrics? First the lamentable Baby Elephant Walk and then Turkey Lurkey Time.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I can't say that I have a single Thanksgiving that stands out in my mind. I always loved Thanksgiving day food so much that I'd beg my mom to cook THanksgiiving for us several times during the year, and she'd usually oblige. I can remember big holiday celebrations with lots of family and intimate dinners with just my immediate family. Frankly, I think they were always more fun than Christmas dinners because people were so exhausted by the time CHristmas day rolled around, but Thanksgiving seemed to be easier-going.

I don't think GROUNDHOG DAY was the first time the "repeat the day" idea was used. DEAD OF NIGHT does it, and Preston Sturges' UNFAITHFULLY YOURS does a variation of it, too. And those were just the first two that popped into my head.

Happy THanksgiving dear Esteemed BK -- I (and I know all of us) are indeed thankful for you and the lightness you bring to the days here in th Living Room. Eat well and enjoy!

Matt H. · « **Reply #34 on:** November 23, 2006, 08:07:16 AM »

I do have two shows from last night to watch (THE NINE and CSI: NY), but I will spend most of the day with DVDs, and probably all day tomorrow (wouldn't catch me out trying to shop under ANY circumstances).

There are UGLY BETTY, CSI, and GREY'S ANATOMY new episodes tonight, but I'll see all of them before I get back on at 11 p.m. to give my viewing rundown, so that will leave nothing for tomorrow's viewing.

TOD: Probably two years ago, when My Pal Al and I spent Thanksgiving weekend in NYC, seeing WICKED and PACIFIC OVERTURES.
Also highly memorable were the T-Day trips my buddy Roseanna Irwin and I took to Myrtle Beach, just the two of us, enjoying southern foods and many seafoods for the holiday. . .
And here's a treat for all dear readers, this was enclosed in a Thanksgiving card I recieved:

What I like most about Thanksgiving: It is a nice holiday where we remember to give thanks for our blessings to whomever we worship. And this holiday hasn't been highjacked as a gift-giving occasion. And the turkey soup!

What I dislike about Thanksgiving: All the dishes to wash!

The three main holidays in my family were Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.

Easter was mandated to be held at my father's parent's home in Riverside, CA. It included attending church, and dinner after.

Christmas and Thanksgiving, on the other hand, rotated between our place (Burbank), the home of his brother's family (first in Riverside, later moved to San Diego), and the home of his cousin Bob (Sepulveda, part of the western San Fernando Valley) and his family.

If either holiday was spent at our place, the turkey was roasted on a spit over our barbeque. This saved space in the oven for other foods.

But I don't remember anything special about the holidays, not really. At times, I felt like an outcast, since all of my cousins were of the female gender. The closest male of my generation was Bob Jr., and he was about ten years my senior. We didn't have reason to bond much.

Would I like to have a Thanksgiving with my Dad again? Sure. He's just a continent away, but it would be great to get to know my step-mom's family.

Would I like to spend a Thanksgiving with my sister again? No. What Larry has said about his sister-in-law with the last name MacBeth pretty well sums up my relationship with my sibling. Der Brucer would agree.

To be honest, I'm looking forward to today at work. Last minute shopping for forgotten ingredients, picking up complete dinners from the deli (we sell a lot of those), and family members who have been booted out of the house by cooks who need their sanity protected. It makes for an interesting day.

Speaking of which, it's time for me to get ready.

It is a beautiful day in Arizona. I am tidying up the patio so we can have dinner outside. They turkey just went in the oven, and DR Sandra and I will shortly take our traditional Thanksgiving Day Drive.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #49 on:** November 23, 2006, 09:54:16 AM »

The turkey is cooking away in its bottle of champagne---we also have a crack surgical team here---so it's time to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful to have stumbled into this warm and welcoming community.

Today we'll be on our way to my mom's with the champagne turkey and we'll get to see the new baby in the family. Since my brother and I have never had children, my common-law step-brotherhas stepped up to the plate and there's finally a grandchild to spoil. The pressure is off for me!

For Closer fans, there's a Thanksgiving Day marathon going on most of the day. (I think they're on the 3rd episode now...) I did all the promos, next ons, etc.

Enjoy your turkey!
