Very impressive list, and the meal I am inferring from it sounds wonderful. I hope your day is awesome. That 5th Harry Potter movie is the best one, in my opinion.

I feel like going around asking everyone, how big is your turkey. But it just sounds a wee bit lascivious. Or competitive. Mine? 20.8. For 8.

Yea Thanksgiving. I have a classmate who does not celebrate. I think in respect to the Native Americans. But he is also vegetarian. Maybe that is it. He says you should be thankful everyday. I am I tell him just without as much food. Or a day off. Or Black Friday. Here is to Thanksgiving-and especially to the leftovers.
