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. So, here’s to the teachers who shaped our minds and now enjoy a well-deserved turkey binge!
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. Plus, watching a video from your teachers is a lot better than listening to them drone on about the quadratic formula, right?
Rhode Island's Governor McKee and His Family Vibes
Over in Rhode Island, Governor Dan McKee and the First Lady are wishing everyone a “Happy Thanksgiving” with all the political flair you’d expect. It’s like they’re the family you didn’t ask for but are stuck with anyway—at least they brought pie! And who doesn’t love pie?
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. It’s a reminder that while we’re stuffing our faces, some heroes are out there risking it all. So, raise a glass (or a drumstick) to them!
Wrap-Up: Gratitude, Gorging, and Giggles
So there you have it, folks! Thanksgiving is about bringing people together, stuffing our faces, and perhaps a little family therapy on the side. Whether you’re in Maine, Texas, or Rhode Island, let’s take a moment to appreciate the chaos, the laughter, and the absolutely ridiculous traditions we all share.
