    And here in the United States, Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November. So this year it is the next to the last Thursday.

    Thanksgiving is a great holiday! I like helping my mom cook Thanksgiving dinner and then I watch the Food Network (even though most people watch sports or something. :p)
    When I read the $10,000 turkey headline, I thought the turkey was actually $10,000. Like with expensive ingredients and jeweled platters! Silly me. :rolleyes:

    I love Thanksgiving! I'm a crazy American, a really crazy American because I'm going to be in Disney World of Orlando, Florida for Thanksgiving! I'm leaving Thursday morning so I'll miss two weeks of CSI!! AHHHH! MY WORST NIGHTMARE HAS COME ALIVE!! Haha, but I'm having a friend tape it and I won't have internet or T.V. so watching it on innertube's out. But I'll watch it first thing we get home Saturday night, Sunday morning, lol. But I'm thankful for...

    -my family's and my own health, even though I'm always getting hurt.
    -my friends and their kindness and generosity.
    -my family to begin with for inspiring me to do so many things that I truly want to do.
    -a democracy to live a free life.
    -and of course since we're on a CSI forum, I'm thankful for CSI! :p
