Only in America do have a Federal holiday to remember what we are thankful for, immediately followed by the largest shopping day of the year to max out our credit cards for the next holiday, Christmas.

Thanksgiver is a "Thanksgiving" dinner had before the actual day of Thanksgiving. It is usually celebrated by college students who have a dinner with their friends before going home to their family dinners on the day of Thanksgiving, or by people who have their dinner at an earlier date because they must travel on Thanksgiving and prefer to do it without an extremely full stomach.
Sandra decided it was better to have Thanksgiver rather then Thanksgiving because Marshal had to travel on the actual day of Thanksgiving and would not be home.

It has went very far from it's traditional meaning. Thanksgiving is supposedly a holiday to give thanks, but you are not giving thanks at all. Nowdays it is a holiday is where you go see some obligatory in law or relative and stuff yourself with turkey, watch Detroit play football, zonk out, and stuff your gut with some more turkey after that. The women have to do all the cooking, dishes, etc. while the men just gorge on the food. But the women get revenge the next day...Black Friday shopping!
Typical guy on thanksgiving: Ah, turkey was good...lets watch Detroit beat the Bears...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The last Thursday in November, when white Americans celebrate the beginning of the rape and genocide of Native Americans by stuffing their fat belly's, as if they've ever needed a reason to eat.
I can't wait till tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner. I am going to eat so much, I will be shitting turkey and cranberry sauce for a week. And I'll say a prayer for all those Indians who died in the name of our greed and gluttony.
