What Do You Love Or Loathe About Thanksgiving?
Our Patch Question of the Week wants to hear your heartwarming, or horrifying, Thanksgiving memories.
Other than July 4th, Thanksgiving is probably the most unique of American holidays. I'm not aware of any nation in the world that has set aside a day devoted to being grateful for the good things in life. The links between Thanksgiving and our American history came together for me about 10 years ago, when my wife and I were vacationing in Washington, D.C., over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Patch wants to hear about your Thanksgiving memories? Do you love or loathe this uniquely …

Turkey Day Recipes: Stuffing and Sides Oh My!
A turkey can't just sit alone on the table. Here are some recipes for Thanksgiving's most popular side dishes.
