THE WEEK Nov 29: Thank you, stupid!

Thanksgiving traditions

Americans celebrated Thanksgiving on Nov 28. They're basically honoring an English explorer who came to the continent we now call North America and violently stole the native people's land by sitting around a table and stuffing themselves full of food. Turkey is the most traditional food eat on this day, and it's customary to eat until you're nearly ready to burst. By the end of the meal, it's nearly impossible to walk your drunken, full belly to the kitchen for a cup of coffee to enjoy while watching football, so you should be happy if you make it to the couch to watch the game. Whatever you do, don't go to the bar and watch the traditional Thanksgiving football game. Your couch is the safest place.
