Happy Thanksgiving

Well, tomorrow is a major holiday here. They seem to make more of a deal of this than Christmas, but to us it is just an extra couple of days off work for Gordon. He gets Thursday and Friday off, so a nice long weekend. The forecasters are predicting the coldest Thanksgiving Day for almost 50 years! We are not planning on doing much for it, just eating, watching TV and dog walking. Will not be roasting a turkey, just eating whatever I can find in the freezer.

The day after Thanksgiving, Friday, is apparently the biggest sale day of the year here, and they advertise it as the perfect chance to get all your Christmas shopping. Pretty much all the shops seem to have a sale and are opening anywhere between 5am and 6am, and most of them are having extra special earlybird offers for the first few hours of the day, to try and encourage everyone out of bed early with their Thanksgiving hang-overs. So we may go and check out some of those, though not quite as early as all that!
