Recreating the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving never seemed like much of an important holiday, at least on the level what it was going to do for me. Yes, I realize that our nation is celebrating one of its most important moments, but come on -- no toys? No free candy? No fireworks? If they want us to buy into the occasion in a big way, especially when it's packed between two of the really fun holidays, they're going to have to give us more than an excuse to eat the biggest turkey we can find. Tryptophan and cranberry shirt stains are nice, but Santa Claus or a Dracula costume they ain't. Actual historic significance aside, I've always viewed Thanksgiving more like a small concession given to those depressed over the passing of Halloween; a little something to tide us over before the even more glorious Christmas season.
