No NFL Thursday Night
The NFL Network's exclusive broadcast of the Denver-Kansas City football game Thanksgiving night was not available in most of the country. This tragically forced millions of American men to actually spend time with their families.

Celebrity Holiday
Dozens of movie and TV stars made appearances this Thanksgiving night at several soup kitchens across the Los Angeles area. They helped distribute meals and gave thanks they were not Michael Richards.

Thanksgiving Day Sales
Hoping to entice buyers to shop a day early, several leading chain stores were open this Thanksgiving Day, including Wal-Mart, BJ's, and CompUSA. But most Americans couldn't take advantage of the sales because they were too busy going to their jobs at Wal-Mart, BJ's, and CompUSA.
