Though there's plenty of frustration during Black Friday shopping madness, and though you may find yourself wanting to go postal waiting in long checkout lines, let's not forget our manners. Here are a few things I recommend NOT doing while you're shopping today; although hilarious, they could get you in trouble.

Thanksgiving is a time for the family to come together, tell stories, then sit down and feast on some tasty, belly-expanding deliciousness. Turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie are all Thanksgiving staples, but if you want to really spice things up a bit this year, we have some ideas.
This Thanksgiving, millions of Americans will sit down at the table and gawk over all the goodies they are planning to cram in their gullet. The holiday might seem as familiar as singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the "Seventh Inning Stretch" or packing a finger in ice that was blown off by a firework on the Fourth of July. However, like all traditions based on history and passed down through the ages, its genesis and story has been morphed and changed to fit the times.
November 22, 2012 The average American will consume more than 4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat on Thanksgiving Day.

There are tons of things we love about Thanksgiving, like how it's socially acceptable to dress up as a pilgrim in public. (Other people do that too, right?) Obviously boats full of gravy will trump square-buckled shoes every time though. Unless
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it's time to get into full-on turkey mode. After all, it's never too early to loosen up the ol' belt buckle to ready ourselves for Thursday's feasting. While we're getting totally hyped about eating tons of stuffing and gravy and pumpkin pie, we still feel like the holiday prep could use a little extra oomph, and that's where Turkey Day music comes in.
We’re thankful for many things this Thanksgiving; loved ones, holiday traditions, the complete 'Harry Potter' series on Blu-ray...We’re also thankful for our furry feline friends and the heartwarming chuckles (read: countless hours of wasted work time) that their silly, adorable antics provide.

Thanksgiving is upon us. For good pilgrims all across the country, it's a special day to gather together with beloved friends and beloved and/or kind of beloved family to celebrate with a bountiful cornucopia of gravy, green beans and Cool Whip. But
November 21, 2012 Ah, it’s that time of year again -- the time where we all calmly shop in peace while sharing laughs and good times together. We are all sure to remember the holiday spirit by helping others and being thankful for what we have.
