I just think Thanksgiving isn't "cool" or ethnic enough, Thanksgiving is slipping in popularity and Cinco de mayo on the other hand is going through the roof as far as popularity.
I think another reason why Thanksgiving isn't the big family tradition it used to be is because families are scattered all over the country. I have a fairly large family, but most of us live in different time zones.
The past few years we have had friends over.
And we invite singles who have no other place to go.
I was in the Military for 7 years so alot of people were away from their families for Thanksgiving, supervisors, first sergeants and commanders would go out of their way to make sure everyone had a place to go for that day. That is one of the things I appreciated about the service.

Growing up, I remember several times when dad would bring home an airman or two from the base to have Thanksgiving with us. I think he just want more people to be on his side when it came to the ball game.

I hate the 5th of May.
It means NOTHING to me, and I bet most of the idiots that celebrate it only know that Corona beer sells well that day.
Dont mistake what I am saying... I am not calling you guys idiots, I promise.
Its just my opinion on the day, and just that.
Have fun if ya want, I myself will have a shot of Jack Daniels in honor of Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett
Wife and son are on phones, as I type, hammering out who's making what
I make the Watergate Salad
The Missus makes the dressing
Son is making the ham
Got celery stix with cream cheese coming
Somebody will invariably fry a turkey
Wife will make a cheesecake or 2 (my favorite part)
And our gravy is basically a thick broth from the chicken stock, gr. peppers, onions, and celery that was boiled for the dressing/stuffing

Cinco de mayos popularity is soaring due to our growing Mexican population, I have no problem with it but as for me as an American Thanksgiving trumps Cinco de mayo anyday of the week.

The food is always better too
That "family getting together" thing weighs heavily on the turkey side of the menu. And Mom's allergic to shellfish.so have lobster sillie......we have duck some years....whatever you want to have....
I bring the pies.
Last year, my brother's mother-in-law was charged with the dessert course. She brought sugar free butterscotch pudding with fat free topping.
So, I bring pie.
No costumes, no decorations, no presents. Money only spent on food and booze.Am I alone in noticing that Thanksgiving seems to have been swept under the holiday rug?
Immediately after Halloween, and ever since, I've seen nothing but Christmas advertising and decorations.
Large retailers are hinting at opening on Thanksgiving to get a leg up on "Black Friday" sales.
It's just seeming that Thanksgiving is fading away.....
What can we do to make Thanksgiving "cool" again?
If I was a conspiracy-minded person, I'd think that it sounds too much like a prayer for the GP.....
Just thinking outloud. Don't jump on the "prayer" aspect too much.
Why aren't there any good Thanksgiving songs, anyway???

That dessert went over like a fart in church. It just goes to show what happens when you try to include everyone in the dinner preparation. Somebody's gonna bring sugar free butterscotch pudding while everyone expcts (and deserves) pumpkin pie.That "family getting together" thing weighs heavily on the turkey side of the menu.

Thanksgiving 1987 our messdecks were under repair and it was my duty day (had to stay onboard)
Our Thanksgiving dinner was delivered via "roach coach".
It was brown bag lunches with pb&j sandwiches.
I haven't eaten pb&j since that day.

It's all about the money
Not much money can be made off of thanksgiving except for the cost of a turkey dinner. Super Markets and restaurants make money, to other merchants it's an annoyance
