If you're started shopping then I hate you for being so organised. Cats like you make us look bad.

Nope, havent bought a thing, as usual leaving it till the last week then getting fumed cos everywhere is packed.

I've got ******* loads of things happening between now & christmas & so I could really do with getting it sorted early, but I hate shopping so I'll put it off until the last possible opportunity as always

I just posted something here and its gone, how strange.

Anyway, just been talking to the kopite over the road, he just said he can get loads of stuff that falls off the back of a lorry, said he works in some shopping centre. RESULT.

Shopping sorted, over.

Blasphemous to even think Christmas until Thanksgiving has passed.

Radio stations here are already starting with the Christmas music.

Back of the lorry shopping is the finest type.

It makes chicas happy for a fraction of the price.

You should get on it - a fully sanctioned day of laziness and gluttony.

Big roasted turkey, green been casserole, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, herbed sausage stuffing, fresh rolls, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cranberry sauce etc...

Throw a couple of Premier League matches on the tube for continuing daily entertainment...

What's not to love? You can borrow if you'd like.

Fourth Thursday in November.

No religious aspect to Thanksgiving aside from what you want to throw on top - thanks to the Native Americans who kept the colonists alive by teaching them how to grow/catch food.

Thanksgiving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is a holiday celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.
