Here's an open house and matching bar, courtesy of Bert's Flexible Friend to all those who are presently stuffing themselves or the turkey.
So all you Yanks and Canucks, pull up an easy chair, undo those waistband buttons and relax with some friends and good music, whilst we in the UK get busy with mixing up the Christmas pudding (stir-up Sunday this week, folks!), celebrating this weekends' full moon - the penultimate one of the year and generally preparing for Advent.
Soon we'll be getting the Advent calendar out of the loft, sticking the windows back on with sticky tape, digging out the spray-on snow, scouring the shops for a L54 two pin push-in bulb for the tangled mess of lights and wondering why we bother.
Until then, there's pumpkin pie for everyone, mulled wine and beer for those who partake, apple and mango tea for those who don't and a tap in the corner for the boring old farts.
Have a happy Thanksgiving folks, remember to give thanks for the bad stuff too, for without that, we wouldn't appreciate the good things so much.
