Millions of people in the US will sit down with family and/or friends on Nov. 25 to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. Many, however, won’t celebrate at all … perhaps because of circumstance, perhaps by choice. It all depends on a person’s point of view.

“Freedom from Want” by Norman Rockwell (1943)

Rocky: Listen, I don’t want no turkey anyway, ya know.
Adrian: But it was Thanksgiving.
Rocky: It was what?
Adrian: It was Thanksgiving.
Rocky: Yeah, to you, but to me, it’s Thursday, right?

from “rocky” (1976)
