I say this every year and I'll say it again: I love Thanksgiving. I view it as the purest of American holidays. What do we do on Thanksgiving? We gather with family (or friends, if family is absent), we feast, we relax, and we give thanks for the good things in our lives. Thanksgiving is the one holiday that hasn't been commercially corrupted - excluding the turkey and cranberry industries. But other than buying foodstuffs and some booze, capitalism has managed to generally stay out, and we get deep with the folks we love.
