Yeah, it’s Thanksgiving. That day in the US that means you get to hang out with all your family, stuff as MUCH food in your face as you possibly can, unbutton your pants, and take a nap in the middle of the day. Love it.

For me, as soon as the meal is over, it’s time for Christmas music. I have a strict policy that Christmas music is not to be listened to before Thanksgiving. So right now I’m loading all my Christmas music (mostly Trans-Siberian Orchestra) up on my Nokia N82, leaving room for family videos and photos, and converting A Christmas Story to load up on the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet, to watch on the drive home from my sister’s.
