Hopefully this Black Friday finds you in your PJs on the couch, sweating off yesterday’s Thanksgiving dinner with a cup of tea. If you’re at work, my sympathies. If you’re out shopping, you’re just crazy. I’m not judging — there are crazy people in my family who actually dare to venture out to shop on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I lift my tea cup to you.
Anyway, be you at work, on the couch, or battling humanity for a good deal, here’s a platter of links to amuse yourself with on this Friday.
“Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action”… Thoughts on Thanksgiving, some humorous, some moving. It is important to try to honor the meaning of Thanksgiving and the true spirit of the holidays. Even if this is done between mouthfuls of stuffing.
1,000 Awesome Things…. This website is, well… you know. It’s about the small moments in life.
Dog Heroes… I can’t help myself, I love dogs. Dogs are incredible, loyal creatures and this article may make you a little misty-eyed. That’s what happened to me, until I remembered that my dog is more likely to hug a burglar than bite his butt.
Three Disasters Involving Food… Not listed? The disastrous things that may or may not have happened to your waistline since yesterday.
The First Thanksgiving… Read about what the Pilgrims really ate on that first Thanksgiving Day. The bad news? There was probably no pumpkin pie. The good news? They had their own brewery.
What’s In A Name… I do love me some useless MentalFloss.com quizzes. How well do you know your sitcom surnames?
