"Consensus at last: almost all Americans – from coast to coast and across stiffening party lines – have favorable views of Thanksgiving dinner, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll."

I do like Thanksgiving and having time with loved ones.

I had to laugh though about the ad for the Black Friday sale at the top article on the poll of 'approving of Thanksgiving'. I would love a poll to know what people like more: Thanksgiving day or the sales surrounding the weekend, and how they feel about the shopping surrounding Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Cynical, yes, but still curious.

I didn't follow the link - but it sure is nice to hear that the majority of us have a favorable view about something these days!

I'm all for CyberMonday! Ebay has daily deals and all of them have free shipping. I got some really good buys last year but you have to be quick because some of them have limited quantity available.
