Happy Thanksgiving: Get Stuffed with Gratitude and Giggles!

Ah, Thanksgiving! That glorious time of year when we gather around a table, stuff ourselves like turkeys, and pretend to listen to our relatives' boring stories. But let’s be real—Thanksgiving is more than just a feast; it’s a festival of gratitude, gorging, and a healthy dose of family drama. So roll up your sleeves, grab a fork, and let's dig into the juicy bits of this holiday!

Governor Janet Mills Spreads the Love in Maine

Just in time for the holiday, Governor Janet Mills is dishing out some Thanksgiving cheer to the good folks of Maine. She’s as excited as the rest of us for a big meal—probably a bit too excited, if you know what I mean. It's a classic Maine Thanksgiving, where the lobster rolls might just make an appearance next to the turkey. Now that’s what I call a feast!

Texas Teachers' Heartfelt Wishes

In Texas, the Texas Retired Teachers Association is all about gratitude this Thanksgiving. They’re thankful for their members and supporters—because let’s face it, without them, they’d just be a bunch of retired folks with a lot of free time.

CEA Leaders Send Their Warm Wishes

The Connecticut Education Association is keeping the spirit alive with a heartfelt video message from their leaders. They remind us that Thanksgiving isn’t just about the food but also about the community and support.

NYSUT Members Reflect on Gratitude

The NYSUT crew is sending out love too, encouraging their members to reflect on what they’re thankful for. Spoiler alert: it’s probably not the long hours they put in or the endless paperwork. But hey, at least there’s pumpkin pie, right? Let’s embrace the chaos and find joy in the little things—like not having to deal with your in-laws for another year.

Thanksgiving with a Twist: The Giant Sparkly Turkey

And who could forget the spectacle of the giant sparkly Pacific Wheel turkey? This monstrous creation rolls through Santa Monica, giving everyone a reason to smile amidst the holiday frenzy. It’s the kind of bizarre tradition that makes you question reality and wonder how much wine you’ve had. But hey, it’s Thanksgiving—let your freak flag fly!

FDNY Foundation's Heartfelt Thanks

Last but not least, the FDNY Foundation is expressing gratitude for their supporters. They’re out there saving lives, and now they’re taking a moment to appreciate those who support their mission.
