Thanksgiving (a national holiday for giving thanks to God)--For a short time this was being morphed into Turkey Day, until turkeys staged some sort of protest in Hollywood and eating turkey then became "inhumane"; hence, it will now be known as The National Four-day Weekend in November. But like Turkey Day, Super Bowl Sunday is a quintessential American holiday, a day also made famous for overeating and football on the TV. These four Turkey Day side dishes won't solve the Battle of the Year-end Bulge. |
