TGIF, everyone! I'm back to work today, but let me just say it was a wonderful feeling to be back home yesterday and sleeping in my own bed last night! That is one thing I can add to my list of things to be thankful for this year.
Still praying for those in LA who got the full wrath of the storm. It is a terrible thing to think about, especially when there are supposedly two other tropical disturbances in the Atlantic to keep an eye on now.
Can't wait to hear what you've come up with, @Rich !

My proposal to the Group
The 25th of each month is Rudolph Day. A lot of people enjoy recognizing it. Some of us even celebrate it. I was thinking that we could do something similar for Thanksgiving by making the fourth Thursday of each month Tom Turkey Day. I've really enjoyed recognizing the 26th of each month here in this thread. But next year Thanksgiving falls on the 25th and I don't think it would be much fun competing with Rudolph. So my proposal to the group is that starting with our Countdown to Thanksgiving 2021, we recognize the fourth Thursday of each month as Tom Turkey Day. What do you think?
Count me in!
Oh my great God, this is maybe one of the greatest ideas I have ever heard of. Rudolph Day / Mini Christmas was already such a staple of my life even prior to joining MMC. I do look forward to it each month, it helps me not miss Christmas so bad, and it seems to be enjoyed by all.
As time evolved, i noticed that I still had that longing for Fall / Halloween, so i began incorporating my own "Mini Halloween" into the year, celebrating on each month that had a 31st. You have inspired me to try and reach more people on "Mini Halloween", but i'm not sure how much of a Halloween presence we have on here?
Anyway, great idea @Rich! I will be happy to celebrate Tom Turkey Day beginning next month. I am already getting serious excitement realizing that there will be months where i have Mini-Halloween, Rudolph Day, AND TOM TURKEY DAY!
Now, in keeping with the naming traditions, i may have to come up with a better name than "Mini Halloween". I am open to suggestions.
Snake, you need to start a Halloween thread! Much like we have with The Bers and Thanksgiving and the Christmas Countdown! Do we have a Halloween countdown on MMC? If so, I must have missed it. If not, you are the perfect person to start one!
Also, for mini-Halloween, I like "Boo Day" or maybe "Pumpkin Day"? Or "David S. Pumpkins Day"? LOL
EDIT: I just found the Halloween Countdown thread on MMC. Wow, I can't believe I overlooked it for so long!
We do have one on there. I post on it during my Mini Halloweens, and halloween related milestone days, etc..
Pumpkin Day was also one of my first thoughts, because i think at its core, Halloween is a nice mashup of Harvest / Fall, and it keeps towards the "Day" theme we have going - Rudolph Day, Tom Turkey Day, Pumpkin day? Anyway, i don't want to hijack the Thanksgiving Thread, i am going to post on our already established Halloween countdown thread to gauge interest. It is in my lineup already, but it would be cool to have a group of us here to celebrate it together. I think from the posts i've been reading, there is already a core group of us that love everything related to THE BERS, so i think that would cover having Pumpkin day be part of that!
Again, and i can't think him enough, but thank you @Rich for giving us all something else to look forward to. MMC is awesome!
There's already a National Pumpkin Day (Oct 26).
I like Mini Halloween.
What about Jack-O-Lantern Day?
If we were Irish: Jack O'Lantern Day
I like Mini Halloween too, i'm just thinking for the sake of consistency , "something-Day, Tom Turkey Day, Rudolph Day".
Harvest day is also a holiday celebrated in Germany on October 4th, so i think that eliminates that as a choice.
I think the choices should be, Mini-Halloween, or Jack-O-Lantern Day, or whatever else someone may suggest. I'm going to post that now on the Halloween countdown thread and see what we get back...

Great idea!! I am in...
Awesome idea! I like that it will be the fourth Thursday of every month! Thanks, Rich!
COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING 2020: 89 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO NOVEMBER 2020: 64 DAYS
COUNTDOWN TO THE BERS 2020: 3 DAYS
Happy Final Weekend of August! This is it. THE LAST Weekend before The Bers. Don't believe me? Check out our countdowns then. We have 89 days left until Thanksgiving, 64 days left until November and 3 days left until The Bers. All 3 counts have moved so nicely in the correct direction. And guess what? Our next milestone is on Monday when we see August leave us (the 9th month since November). That will be a big milestone for sure before we hit The Bers on Tuesday. TUESDAY. Yeah like in 3 days. Do you believe that? Thanks to Rich for the idea for the 2021 Thanksgiving Thread. I think it will definitely be a special thing to do. Every 4th Thursday will be one of the milestones on the chart I put up on Thanksgiving Night this year for the 2021 count. Have a great Final Weekend of August!

COUNTDOWN TO THE BERS 2020: 2 DAYS
Happy Next to Last Day of August! And you know what else is the "Next to Last Day" of? THE BERS! Our countdowns reflect that: 88 days till Thanksgiving, 63 days till November (that's 9 weeks folks) and 2 days till The Bers. WOW! Tomorrow is our next milestone as we bid farewell to our 9th month since November. 9 down and 2 (amazing months) to go until we reach November again. Pretty incredible. I'm really so focused on The Bers now. I'm really trying to enjoy each day as much as possible. I'm trying to enjoy those moments during The Bers that are the little moments. And I know you all will too (but the Big ones we'll still enjoy like Thanksgiving Day of course!). Have a great Next to Last Day of August!

Almost cooldown time of year! This has been a unreal humid summer and I am more than ready for October.
