Anybody have info if anybody is having a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner next Thurs? If not then then Sun would be OK, going to be out of town Fri and Sat. Price is not really a problem so the Hyatt etc would be OK.
Last year I went to something over at Yonsei Univ on Sun. It was really nice but I haven't seen anything. Didn't Nashville have something?
thanks |

Depends on the family and region I suppose. In my house we'd have turkey and sweet pototes for thanksgiving, then on Christmas we'd have ham and collard greens, sometimes kale. |

Most countries hold their harvest festivals earlier than in the U.S.. I've always wondered why it's so late there. Did American farmers really used to work the fields through the middle of November?

My family had exactly the same food for both holidays. Quite honestly I think it should be put in the Constitution that turkey be served on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I seriously question the citizenship of anyone who disagrees.
Proclamation of Thanksgiving
Washington, D.C.
October 3, 1863
By the President of the United States of America.
A Proclamation.
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth.
By the President: Abraham Lincoln
William H. Seward,
Secretary of State
Why did Lincoln choose the last Thursday in November? I don't know. I guess because he wanted to wait till the harvest was completed. Where I'm from, farmers are still in the fields into November. |

Are you saying you have relatives here in Korea who own a turkey farm? I'd love to buy a fresh turkey rather than a frozen one. |

Yup. Why deprive yourselves?
Turkey (20 lbs. +; couple times two turkeys!!) w/stuffing
Ham (Big)
4 pies, minimum (Usually cherry, apple, pumpkin, mince meat)
Mashed taters and gravy
cranberry sauce
salad
buttermilk biscuits
candied yams (That's with marshmallows and some brown sugar-based glaze.)
finger foods (sweet and dill pickles, olives, celery sticks, carrot sticks)
Lime jello (w/ cottage cheese and fruit cocktail in it)
Hope I didn't leave anything out...
Oh, yeah, Macy's Parade and football! |
