Marie-Ange is pretty much correct. It's a harvest festival remembering the pioneers and their struggles to survive the upcoming winter. Rituals varry from family to family, but pretty much everywhere meat is eaten we have turkey, plus other traditional foods (stuffing, cranberry sauce, cornbread, pumpkin pie, etc.)
I'm going to be claiming the rec-room tv with 'Yana and Artie to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade all morning, if either of you want to join us.
