I love this holiday, because it's universal for every American, no mater what your religious or ethnic hertitage.
And I love it even more now that someone else is doing it for me. Since my mother is a minster, she always worked on the holidays, so I have been doing Thanksgiving since I was 22.
But now my boyfriend's family wants to host, and I am over-joyed to just bring pie.
And it's been another busy week. I had hoped to stop working at 3:00 today, but I was on the phone until 5:00.
And not a single one of the five books I was hoping to close on this week came through.
Meanwhile, a prospective client with fame in another publishing dimension had approached me about working with him on fiction, should he ever have the time to write. I liked his ideas, so I sent him a "where's your stuff?" email in the summer. Two weeks into the Writer's Strike, he sent me 18 chapters. My new intern (she's awesome!!) and I read it right away, and it is so good that I had to email it to a select handful of editors right before the holiday. I'll keep you posted.
Enjoy the turkey!

Hmmm.... Universal for every American? I remember my Native American colleague was very upset for having to take this day off almost as much as I was for taking Christmas off...
I live in Bucks County, PA, and everyone loves to come out here for Thanksgiving, which means I do ALL the work. No complaints from me, though, because I like things a certain way and I know people appreciate it. The one year I was invited away about five years ago, I was so disappointed I vowed never to do it again. I hope your holiday away from home was better than the year I went away for canned peas and carrots, paper desert plates and plastic forks.
play bazaar is very good blogspot theme, where you can find out the best theme and latest designs. Even you can find website theme with satta king and joomla.
