Thank-you for finding the article. It is funny in some way, but it is also true. Our Thanksgiving Holiday is a quiet homey event. We don't decorate much or fuss about things. It is a time to relax and enjoy being with people that you care about.
There is not even a set day for the Thanksgiving dinner. Mostly it is the Sunday or the Monday, but I have attended Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday and even on the Friday. My most spectacular year, I ate Thanksgiving dinner with different people on all four nights.
Because the holiday lines up with my birthday, I have always considered Thanksgiving to be part of my birthday celebration.
If the whole country wants to declare a holiday and celebrate right after my birth, who am I to complain.
