Thanksgiving Day is upon us. What is your favorite food on the dinner table?
Thanksgiving Day has been celebrated for centuries here in America. The holiday dates back to 1621 when the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared a harvest feast that has long been acknowledged as the first Thanksgiving. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. The first Thanksgiving meal included wild turkey, waterfowl, venison, fish, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin and squash. Some of those foods continue to be Thanksgiving staples, but over time, the meal has evolved. So tell us, Patch readers, what is your favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner? Cast your vote in the poll below!
Charter One Bank, with ATM machines in area Speedway locations, offers the following tips.
This year, if you want to take advantage of the Black Friday deals, you don't even have to get up early on Friday morning.

A very warm Thanksgiving will give way to a cold and blustery Black Friday.
Call it global warming, call it coincidence, but as we head towards the end of November we are instead seeing temperatures that look more like outdoor-sports weather than the seasonal snow. If your Thanksgiving Day plans involve football in one of Oswego's many parks or your own backyard, you will likely be enjoying some quite warm weather for the season. You could probably try barbecuing the turkey if you had a mind to! On the flip side, Black Friday is promising colder, windier temperatures that we're more used to seeing. If you're planning to get a head start on your holiday shopping, best to bring out the jacket again.
