Thanksgiving 2006

Thursday September 21, 2006
Thanksgiving 2006 weekend ideas Thanksgiving in the US is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, which makes the date to remember Thursday November 23rd, this year. Thanksgiving turkey dinner is of course the big event of the weekend for families; but Thanksgiving also marks the start of the "Holiday Season". This makes for extra fun at family destinations: Christmas decorations go up at the Disney parks, for example; and family-friendly resorts usually schedule a tree-lighting or Santa preview appearance, at the end of their Thanksgiving weekend festivities. Warning: some popular family resorts are already booked in September for Thanksgiving weekend, so plan as early as possible!

Pictured above is Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, NH: which has Thanksgiving feast, Light Up Night festivities, appearance by Santa & Mrs. Claus and elves, and even Breakfast with Santa on its Thanksgiving weekend.

Same as previous comment. Thanksgiving is not ALWAYS the third Thursday of November.
