Thanksgiving 2026 Thread

I keep thinking about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade this year. It’s the 100th anniversary. I can’t help but wonder what all they have planned. It’s got to be a huge celebration, right?

I'm pretty sure they're working on it as we speak!

Oh, for sure. They probably started working on it at least a couple of years ago. I’m just excited to see what they’re going to do. 100 Thanksgiving Day parades is a big milestone.

Happy Thursday! Today is the first time that I have had daydreams of this year’s Thanksgiving Day! It felt great!

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 322
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 297
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 236

Happy Jovial January! Today folks we move along and see we have 322 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 297 days left until November and 236 days tog o until The Bers. We move along in our Winter Wonderland with our next milestone arriving 2 weeks from today with Tom Turkey Day #2. It’s going to be a big one. That’s Rich’s milestone as he’s a big fan of Tom Turkey. He created it. It’s Thursday folks so time for our Weekly Countdown till Thanksgiving. It stands now at 46 weeks. I smile and think about Thanksgiving. Don’t you? It just is the best day ever. But I am trying to make today the best day ever or at least the best day that I can. And I hope you do the same my turkey friends as we try to stay the course and enjoy our days daily as much as we all can. And count our blessings each day. Turkey friends I wish you well on this Thursday. It is the best when you think about turkey, stuffing and gravy on a Thursday. It doesn’t have to be in The Bers. As it just feels right any time of year on a Thursday if you ask me. The best to all of you here as we expect a bit of milder weather here, which is really a nice treat after a long and cold stretch. Gobble Gobble turkey friends. Have a great Jovial January!​

Long day today. I got my Jeep this morning, and then we drove to the hospital and had our appointment and found out that Holly most likely is going to have surgery. Don't worry! It's an outpatient surgery. I don't know the exact date yet, but we believe it will be in the next 2 - 3 weeks.

I'm glad it's going to be soon and we get it out of the way and move on to other fun things! I've convinced myself that this Holiday season is going to be the best ever. Nothing is going to get in our way!

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 321

DAYS TILL THE BERS: 235

Happy January TGIF! Today folks we move along and see that we have 321 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 296 days left until November and 235 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Winter Wonderland with our next milestone set to arrive in less than 1 week from now when we reach Tom Turkey Day #2. It’s Friday folks so time for our Fun Fact Friday below!

Critics pick a cartoon as a Thanksgiving movie classic

According to various critics and audience members alike, on Rotten Tomatoes, a favorite Thanksgiving movie is A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Producer Lee Mendelson says he and Charles Schulz disagreed about a scene in which Snoopy’s pal Woodstock ate turkey because he didn’t think a bird would eat another bird. He was overruled, and the scene stayed in.

I think that it is an underrated choice for sure. When we think of Charlie Brown holiday specials we think more about Halloween and Christmas. But the Thanksgiving one is awesome. And I used to watch it a lot as a kid growing up. I think that I need to get back into it more maybe in the offseason. Have a great January TGIF!​

I agree on this one. I don't think about a lot of Cartoons when I think of Thanksgiving.

Lots of more Halloween and Christmas cartoons. I enjoy several of the South Park Holiday episodes.

Thanksgiving in our family is more along the lines of watching things like Lord of The Rings, or "Star Wars".

Have a great Friday!

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is an annual watch for us. We always laugh at the part where Woodstock eats the turkey because, yes, it is low-key cannibalism.

The Mayflower Voyagers is another Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special, and it a sleeper hit. Unfortunately, thanks to Apple buying up the rights to Peanuts, it’s not broadcast anymore, and it’s hard to find these days.
