This year, Mike, I think most of us know just how you feel. You’re a very good kid.__Happy Thanksgiving! (To everyone who doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving… happy day!)
ohallford: Canada has a quite similar Thanksgiving in October (because of an earlier harvest) opposite Columbus/Invasion Day. Most tribes had a harvest festival. The first thanksgiving by Europeans in the western hemisphere was by the Frobisher expedition celebrating their survival of winter in the Canadian arctic.
A couple of years ago when my Grandson was 7 he asked his Dad if he could buy presents for people. My son said “I guess so if you keep it to $5 per gift”. You would have been surprised at how well he did, and found very appropriate gifts for everyone, even picking out correct colors, etc.
5 & dime stores. remember the smell of popcorn as soon as you went into the store? and the awsome candy counters. anyway mike even just thinking about giving instead of getting is enough to put a lump in my throat. that is what Christmas is supposed to be all about.

Happy Thanksgiving to our U.S. friends! I’m thankful for everyone in the comics who makes me smile and laugh: artists and commenters alike! :-)
