In addition to Thanksgiving, today is....

Go For A Ride Day. Over the river and through the woods should count, don't you think?

It's also Stop the Violence Day. This will not prevent the scheduled football games from being played today.

Usual Suspect Hallmark says today is National Start Your Own Country Day. We say push back from the Thanksgiving table before your expanding bulk requires its own seat at the U.N.

Today, interestingly, is the earliest day on which Thanksgiving can fall in the United States. The latest date would be November 28.
