Thanksgiving Links

As we approach one of my favorite holidays of the year, I thought I’d share a few of the links I’ve found interesting about Thanksgiving Day. Have a blessed celebration with whomever is near you!

Interested in learning more about the Pilgrims? Check out this article over at Neatorama.

Vegetarian…and feeling a little left out given all the attention we give Turkey. Try The Week‘s advice to think beyond the bird with these 13 Vegetarian Dishes for Thanksgiving.

A little bummed out about how many stores are open for business on Thanksgiving? (And no judgment – promise! – if you’re planning on shopping.) Then check out Mental Floss’s report on stores that refuse to open until Friday. You can shop them, and thank them, and even tell them you’re shopping them to thank them!

Looking for something to listen to while you’re stuck in Thanksgiving traffic and feeling, well, less than grateful. Check out The Table’s 23 minute audio on the psychological evidence of the importance of giving thanks.

And if you’re missing your Wednesday TedTalk, you can revisit one I posted a year ago on cultivating an attitude of gratitude.

However you celebrate, wherever you maybe, with whomever you’re surrounded…I hope you have a blessed day!
