I've never been to a Marie Callendar's restaurant - I don't think they have those here in the Southeast. I have had some of her frozen foods from the grocery store, though. They're okay, but nothing to write home about.

I had a great Thanksgiving. My Aunt always hosts the annual family get-together - we had 30+ people this year. She lives in the country and it was a beautiful Autumn day, so we got to eat outside and enjoy the weather.

That night, my parents agreed to babysit so that my wife & I could go see "Four Christmases." It's a cute holiday movie and we enjoyed getting out.

Don't you love parents?

Yup !

I sometimes wish I had dual American/Canadian citizenship so I could celebrate it twice per year!

I'd have to do twice as much dieting ! LOL !

How was everyone else's turkey-day or non-turkey-days?

Non-traditional !  Did not eat Turkey.  I think we had soup for lunch and cold-cut sandwiches for dinner !  Watched a little of the RUSH Snakes & Arrows DVD on my pc.  Hung out with my wonderful wife.  Played soccer with my cat !  Posted on the JBF. Took a nap !  Thought about the 10 things I am thankful for in order to prep for Sunday's message at church.  It was a very nice Thanksgiving holiday !

Well, being a non-turkey-person in a dual sense*, I'll nevertheless dutifully respond by stating that I've been out cold with a cold the last couple of days and it's still going strong (which is getting rather old and older by the minute).

Joakim -

I don't know if you have it over in Sweden, but next time you start to come down with a cold, immediately try some of the Zicam products.  They are zinc based and reduce the time of a person's cold if administered in the first hours of the onset of symptoms.  When I take Zicam, instead of having a cold for 10+ days, it only lasts for 2 or 3 !
