Despite a good effort from the Aggies, the Sooners live to fight another day. Against a team as talented as the Sooners, small lapses in concentration will usually come back to haunt you. A good effort, but I am not sure the Aggies believe in moral victories.
I have been wondering about this for some time now, and this mode of communication will allow me to share it with a large group of people. Why has Thanksgiving become such a second-class holiday in America? It was the uniquely American holiday, but I am beginning to believe that is Christmas. As soon as Halloween is over, the Christmas festivities begin, and we do not give a second thought to Thanksgiving until it is upon us. The Christmas decorations come out, and they go up before Thanksgiving can even be observed. Is it because Thanksgiving is not a holiday that can be highly commercialized? We are not giving anything tangible to each other, but we are expressing our thankfulness and remembering that we are incredibly blessed.

I agree Justin, that Thanksgiving is a great holiday. There is no pressure about buying the right gift or maybe forgetting to get a gift for someone that buys you something. There is also no disappointment on the part of children (and some adults) that they ddn't get what they were hoping for. Thanksgiving is all about being with people you care about and enjoying their company. Of course you can't really have Thanksgiving without some good cornbread dressing....am I right??? But after the dressing it's all about people. Mom
