HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

And for the non-US people, a little lesson of American history:

Thanksgiving Day
 
Thanksgiving Day, national holiday in the United States commemorating the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony in 1621, after a winter of great starvation and privation. In that year Gov. William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving, and the feast was shared by all the colonists and the neighboring Native Americans. Although similar observances were held locally, they were sporadic and at no set time. After the American Revolution the first national Thanksgiving Day, proclaimed by George Washington, was Nov. 26, 1789. Abraham Lincoln, urged by Sarah J. Hale, revived the custom in 1863, appointing as the date the last Thursday of November. In 1939, 1940, and 1941 Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed Thanksgiving the third Thursday in November. When a contradiction arose between Roosevelt's proclamation and some of those of state governors, Congress passed a joint resolution in 1941 decreeing that Thanksgiving should fall on the fourth Thursday of November. The day is observed by church services and family reunions; the customary turkey dinner is a reminder of the four wild turkeys served at the Pilgrims' first thanksgiving feast.

YAY!! i'm excited it's thanksgiving!
My grandparents and my parents are here now, and we're waiting for my cousins, my uncles and my parents friends. My brother can't be here... and I feel bad for him!
The stove isnt working... so we cant cook, but we're going to have soup here and then go out to eat... then come back home for pie. I wish we could eat at home though... it'll be weird going out! but o well!
