Thanksgiving 2024 Thread

I gotta go with "D". Not many did anything outside this year here. It was getting less every year and now has hit rock bottom. No more holiday foods left although I found a bag of new candy corn last night in a drawer. No snow so the sleds sit around gathering dust.

I’m going with D it’s cold dark and the road back to the holidays seems so daunting .

It's day 3 of January already? Where has the time gone? Slow down January!!! NOT!

It is definitely A for me.

A bunch of A's!

I hear you!

I have to go with A, but B is a close second and those left over goodies will last longer than the lights are up I fear. Some have been safely prepared for life in the freezer but a few are just waiting for me to finish them.

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 329
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 302
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 241

Happy Early January! Today folks we have 329 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 302 days to go until November, and 241 days left until The Bers. Friends our next milestone will be the day after tomorrow. That will be Saturday when we reach the 300-Day Marker Till November. We also move along in the very (very) early stages of our Winter Wonderland. No snow here (yet) but maybe the weekend. We’ll see. What we will see below is our Thanksgiving Thought Thursday!

I like having football in January. It gives me a sense of comfort and reminds me of the holiday season. And of course, the #1 day we think of with football is Thanksgiving. You don’t have to be a fan of football to be a fan of football happening on Thanksgiving. It fits. Thanksgiving = The Ultimate Tradition Day of the Year.

I hope all of you friends will give a little thought about Thanksgiving when you see football on your televisions this month. It should give you some comfort as we are in the depths of winter now. Thanks for being here today friends and enjoy your Thursday as much as you can. You all rock. Have a great Early January!​

Happy Thursday! We think of Thanksgiving every Thursday in this house. I truly do miss Thanksgiving. I am glad we have constant talk of it in this thread because those little moments make me appreciate how great of a time Thanksgiving is that I feel doesn't get enough conversation outside of the group of people on this thread and MMC in general.

Have a great day!

No holiday goes with a specific day of the week like Thanksgiving goes with Thursday.

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 328
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 301
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 240

Happy January TGIF! Today folks we have 328 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 301 days to go until November, and 240 days left until The Bers. Our next milestone will be tomorrow friends on Saturday. It will be the 300-Day Marker till November. And that will be a huge turning point friends already here in the early part of January. We move along in our Winter Wonderland with the chance of some snow coming this weekend. Will it happen? Who knows. It depends who you listen to. Some say we might get a good amount and others say we might not. Well turkey friends it’s the 5th day of the week so here is your 5th topic of the week which is our Fun Fact Friday!

According to the US Calorie Control Council (CCC), an average American may consume a whopping 4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat on Thanksgiving Day. Remember that the recommended daily caloric intake for an average person is 2,000 per day. A typical adult needs to spend 10 hours at a steady pace on a treadmill to burn off an average Thanksgiving meal.

Wow. So people eat more than double what they should on Thanksgiving Day? I believe it. And 10 hours on a treadmill doesn’t sound overly fun does it? Well turkey friends I hope your first week of the year closes out great before heading into the weekend. Have a great January TGIF!​

 

[SolidSnake84]

I feel like I eat at least three times as much as I ever would normally on Christmas or Thanksgiving. Since I don't do that throughout the year, a "little bit" of overindulging those days I feel like isn't that big of a deal.

We're ready for the snowstorm here. Only thing I need to do tonight is get gas for the snowblower, I started it up last weekend and had no problems whatsoever, even though it basically sat for an entire year because of not having snow last year. I think the last year that it ran was in 2022. I do periodically go out and start everything like that throughout the year which I think helps them.

We're supposed to get 5 to 7 inches here, that's a pretty "good" snow for where I live, we haven't had one that big in years.

Have a great day!

SOoo... 2 Wendys Baconators is more than a whole Thanksgiving meal..?

It is kind of funny to think of it that way. I will pass on that fast food and give me that Thanksgiving meal! And to think there are people that eat those burgers plus a large fry and a large soda regularly!

Memorial Day?

Easter Sunday?

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 327
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 300
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 239

Happy January Weekend! Today folks we have 327 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 300 days to go until November, and 239 days left until The Bers. It’s Milestone Day folks! We have reached the 300-Day Marker Till November. Just awesome. This is the last time we’ll have 2 counts in the “3’s” folks. Big. Our next milestone? You’ve got a long wait. Tom Turkey Day #2 will be our next milestone and that is not for almost 3 weeks. Wow. A long stretch without a milestone. I’m ok with that. We’ll brace and enjoy the heart of January here together in this thread with our 5 topics each week. But right now we have our quiet weekend period part 1 of 2. And we move along in our Winter Wonderland and maybe we’ll see some snow tonight to make it look that way. That would be ok with me as long as it’s not too much and that it melts next week quickly as it should with a big rain storm coming. Turkey friends I hope you enjoy your Saturday. Enjoy the quiet here but make some noise/posts to make sure it’s not too quiet. Hope you enjoyed the 5 topics this week. And now we can enjoy our weekend to it’s fullest. I hope that for all of you here in this awesome thread known as the Thanksgiving Thread. Have a great January Weekend!​
