we had steamed crabs in additional to the traditional turkey, sweet potatoes, etc

  Just heard on the AM news that today, black Friday, is the busiest day of the year for plumbers......hmmm wonder why?

I remember a study back in university for urban development. It showed how busy the sewers, water lines, etc, got during the beginning of halftime at the Super Bowl.

I want to experience an American Thanksgiving. I am sure it is simular to Canada's, but I like the idea of 2 days off of work, one to watch football, one to sleep (sleep, not shop), and then a weekend!

  American Black Friday is like Canada's Boxing Day. Everyone gets up at 3 in the morning to wait outside a Futureshop or something. I would rather stay home and play with toys, it is basically just an extended day of Christmas, but with shopping.

obviously brought to the American public by retailers.....Thankgiving each year is on a Thursday (and not a fixed date) and the following Friday is publicized as sales day

This year works out good for a lot of people with Christmas. Christmas is on a Monday, and Boxing Day Tuesday. So a lot of people will get a 4 day holiday, unless they work in retail of course.
