Nov 25th'10:
Its Thanksgiving day, the second biggest festival in US and they wait all year long for this one.It always falls on fourth Thursday of a month and to provide a long weekend, Friday,Nov 26th is also considered a holiday.A little history on Thanksgiving, here it goes, to
"Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is a holiday celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday and Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends. "
We didn't have anything planned for this day since the major attractions would be closed today for the holiday.So, nothing much in mind we got down to preparing our Runbooks, one entire day we did not step out, working on our laptop starting from 11am and ending at 11.30pm Phew !!.We celebrated thanksgiving with Budweiser, Bryer's Dark Chocolate ice cream and lots of work :)
Now at least I know that Thanksgiving Day is a Harvest Festival Day there.
