I get the personal reasons, and I realize not everyone has relatives they enjoy hanging out with. I’m older, my parents are dead, and it’s just me and the adult kids, maybe some friends, so it’s nice.

I look at the origins of TG the same way I look at christmas (I’m an atheist): The original meaning doesn’t speak to me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it.

Good points, but I really do like Thanksgiving best. I have good relatives who I like hanging out with, and it’s just doing that and eating food (though I usually do an awful lot of cooking).

My wife got cataract surgery years ago and they kind of botched it, so she could see for some time. She couldn’t watch videos/TV, browse the web, or anything like that, and it was pretty terrible for her. She asked me to read to her, so it became a daily thing. It was pretty neat, I have to admit, though it sure did make me hyper aware of my pronunciation and stuff.
