In 1863, Abraham Lincoln declared two Thanksgivings. One was held in August. The second, held in November, was to give thanks for the nation's blessings. This fall celebration caught on and has been a tradition ever since.

Did you know that at one time trick-or-treating was stopped? It's true. During World War II children were not allowed to trick or treat because there was a sugar shortage.

America has developed a pie tradition unequivocally and unapologetically at the sweet end of the scale, and at no time is this better demonstrated than at Thanksgiving.

It went through the holidays. Since it was through the holidays people were in such a hurry to get in and get back home, they didn't take the time to listen. We also could have used a few more people helping us. We didn't do badly and we learned a lot. If it came down to it and had to do it again, we'd be right back out there.

Five days ago I was on holidays at home and I was really having fun.

This absolutely is the right place to be. It's pandemonium in here on Saturdays and holidays. It's been crazy. Fun, but crazy.
