We'll be around for Thanksgiving, but I think my Dad will prefer to go to a Chinese restaurant, so I think we're out. I might call another meetup that week just for funsies.
There was an article in the NY Times several years ago describing how Chinese restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving because business was always light that day. People of all faiths celebrate Thanksgiving, unlike Christmas.
