Thanks to samulli for the TT header graphic
13 Things I Won't Be Doing (Thanksgiving Edition)
1. Cooking or eating turnips--in my family, we call them 'turn up your nose(s)'!
2. Serving full berry cranberry sauce--'gotta have that can-shaped "sauce"
3. Missing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade--some traditions must be honored
4. Missing pro football later in the day--ditto on #3's reason
5. Going to bed early so I can get up to shop--see below
6. Getting up at 4:00 to be at a 5:00am sale
7. Getting up at 5:00 to be first at the 6:00am sale
8. Getting up at 6:00 to be right there at the front of the line for the 7:00am sale
9. Participating in "Black Friday" frenzy at all--definitely for amateur shoppers; we veteran shoppers don't do 'doorbusters'!
10. Putting up Christmas decorations tomorrow--what, so I can have a dead tree on Christmas day? No thanks.
11. Serving cleverly disguised turkey leftovers all week--well, maybe a turkey calzone or two...
12. Making turkey soup--well, maybe next week...
13. Forgetting to count my blessings--I'm thankful for many things, and not on just one designated day of the year...Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and Happy TT

I so agree===Thanksgiving isn't thanksgiving without a slice of ocean spray cranberry sauce.
Happy Thanksgiving:)
Happy TT. I was involved in four TTs this week:

I didn't go.
Being Canadian, this was the first year i ever really heard about "Black Friday". It's an odd day. People honestly get up at 4 to go shopping? That's insanity. Serious Consumer Driven Insanity... Why not have the stores open at 12:01 on Friday morning? lol. Why wait until 5?
Anyway, great list! Thanks for visiting my Suspicious Meme!
Hope you got to sleep in today. Happy TT a day late!
