Happy Thanksgiving!
In case you are not aware, today November 26th is Thanksgiving here in the USA.
Thanksgiving is a great occassion with deep roots here in the US and while it has changed over time to also become the official start of the Christmas shopping season, it is one holiday for me that has real meaning.
For me this holiday is a time for family and for literally "giving thanks"...as such I wanted to express my "Thanks" to the Management, Moderators and Members of IIS, you have all contributed to a great community and resource for those interested in looking up at the night sky.
We are in the midst of preparing a great feast here in Connecticut with Turkey and the trimmings so the house is filled with the scents of cooking food and it makes a nice contrast to the "brisk" temperature and the look of "fall" (pre-winter) outside.
Alhough we celebrated Thanksgiving as a family during our time in Australia with a special meal and also took the opportunity to give thanks, the weather was not really appropriate to running an oven and roasting a turkey so this is our first traditional Thanksgiving that my children will remember and thusly is special to me.
Have a great day, I know that we will here!
