Thanksgiving

Turkey Day, Thanksgiving, is only a couple days away. How much turkey will you eat before falling asleep on the couch? Before you eat your first bite, soak in these facts about turkeys and be the life of your Turkey Day dinner. Did you know Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird?

However, in simple terms, February, in my humble opinion, is like an entire month of Monday mornings. It’s cold, it’s bleak, there’s no football, no baseball yet, I think that’s the main reason it’s the shortest month of the year.

Obviously not every event over the past year has been a positive one. However, most of us tend to think positive and to apply more weight to the good things, rather than dwelling on the bad.

The Butterball Turkey Talk-Line is now open throughout December, with trained professionals ready to help you prepare the perfect holiday turkey.

While the food itself may be wonderful, there’s a psychological component to eating the same things every year that benefits the human mind.

Sometimes it gets lost in all the traveling and stuffing and football, but the point of Thanksgiving is to acknowledge the things you’re thankful for from the past year. According to a new poll from Harris Interactive of 2,463 adults, only 32 percent will have more to be thankful for this Thanksgiving than they have in the previous few Thanksgivings.
