In 1621, a ship called the Mayflower entered a new world at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts and forever screwed up the last week of November.

Pumpkin spice latte, Pumpkin flavored cookies, donuts, and cakes - you name it. If it's flavored, there'll be a pumpkin version of it during November. Pumpkin pie is good, but only in moderation. Parades are slow and long, and the stuff that is paraded is kind of weird. But sure, why not march Mr. Potato Head home to Thanksgiving dinner and then gobble up mashed potatoes? And you'll have to watch the parade anyway if you have kids. Watching the parade on TV is even worse then having to actually BE there. Normally, watching football is a fun affair filled with wings, and beer. The worst part of all is the Detroit Lions. Watching the Lions lose since 1934 gets old. Women work for hours on Thanksgiving cooking and cleaning for , set the table, pour the drinks, make the food, serve the guests, clear the table, and wash the dishes. The men sit around and watch football. It's like we revert into families straight out of 1950's Pleasantville. Thanksgiving's colors are ugly brown and ugly orange- Enough said. Dinner is FINALLY over and you're bored. Why not go to Target and browse the upcoming Black Friday deals? Or maybe head to the mall and pick up some new shirts. Oh wait, you can't! It's Thanksgiving and nearly every business is closed. Have fun watching reruns after the Lions lose....again!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
