I'm mad! 😠

I'm irate! 😠

I'm absolutely livid! 😠 

So someone told on me!! Told the US that I mistakenly took US Thanksgiving last week instead of the upcoming one. Now my green card lottery entry has been cancelled over it 😮 !!! I can think of one 'tuckian that would have reported me. No not you @astone2292  

Okay, just kidding. All above is fictional and untrue.  

The fact remains that I honestly thought it was this past week that Americans took most of the week off for a Thursday holiday for the second Thanksgiving of the year  

So once again, may I wish you all the happiest of Thanksgiving and may the Turkey population spring back in time for Christmas. 🦃

Now I hate to stereotype ,  yet, I'm curious does the 3 big family holidays for your choice of meat change. Now I know there is lots of different religions, beliefs, meals and such which can constitute a family holiday, but I'm talking specifically about Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Up here in Canadia, my family and most of my friends families all ate turkey for all three. Some might interchange a ham in for one or two, usually Christmas or Easter. Thanksgiving usually was always turkey. So here is the question of the week, what is your traditional meat for each of these holidays. Keep it clean you guys!!! Or do you rotate? **sigh** 

With that all settled, shall we see what happened at the GA News Blog?

I know someone who gets up early every morning and takes the same road to give us all the Word of the Day. Bonus points if you got the first 2:

concinnity, synecdoche, skepticism, dowdy, abandonment, feisty, wiry
