Thanksgiving Is Being Canceled by Many Due to Bidenflation
By Matt Margolis 12:26 PM on October 14, 2022

As we’ve previously noted, nearly 70% of likely 2022 voters say that the high price of groceries is influencing their motivation to vote. This spells doom for Joe Biden and the Democrats in November.

However, Bidenflation will not only influence voters’ decisions in November. It will also, regrettably, have an effect on the Thanksgiving dinner. More than a third of Americans, according to a survey by Personal Capital, will be eating less at Thanksgiving this year, with 88% of Americans planning to eliminate at least one dish from their traditional Thanksgiving spread in an effort to save money. But, as Personal Capital notes, “with financial strain and tightened budgets, the easiest way to save money this Thanksgiving may be to skip it altogether.”

In 2020, an Ipsos survey found that nine out of ten Americans planned to participate in Thanksgiving activities, but according to Personal Capital’s survey, 1 in 4 Americans is planning to skip Thanksgiving this year to save money.

While many are cutting costs by not celebrating Thanksgiving at all, others are slashing expenses in other ways. “Many of this year’s Thanksgiving hosts are keeping things simple and affordable by sharing the load,” explains Personal Capital. “Over half of respondents planned to keep gatherings small, make fewer dishes, and ask guests to bring something to the table. Another 42% were willing to ask guests to pitch in money for the meal.”

Younger generations are more likely to use all four methods, while older generations are less likely to use any of them.

My favorite holiday is always been Thanksgiving. Eat and drink yourself to a bloated state. And it’s a remarkably American holiday second to Fourth of July.

What happens when the American people do the same thing for Christmas?

Well other than division of labor between houses sort of potluck style (which has always been our way), none of the rest applies.

You can be assured, our Thanksgiving before the Father will be every bit the feast it always is. Even if we were otherwise starving, it would still be so, it is that important to our family. It is as much an act of faith as it is an act of thanks.

But of course, it is easier for us too - Everything but the mushroom soup, french onions, and cranberry sauce was made right here. Nearly all of it will come right out of the pantry, including the bird.

Same here for the most part.

    We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
    He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
    The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing;
    Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.

    Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
    Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
    So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
    Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!

    We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
    And pray that Thou still our Defender will be;
    Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
    Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

We already made plans to go to the local bowling center for turkey buffet. All you can eat with all the fixings.  $19,99 per plate.  Includes one free game.

I'd rather go bowling..do they serve bloody marys?

At Walmart a generic brand turkey is 1.89lb and I usually get 20/25lb turkey...I will most likely cook for my whole family..10 of us. I make all the dishes and desserts. I know this sounds tacky but neither of my dil's are good cooks and my sons do most of the cooking in their houses.. :shrug:

A couple of years ago my one dil made the snack called Puppy Chow. The last step of the recipe is to coat the cereal mixture in powdered sugar....when I opened the container up to serve people I noticed something was wrong...she had used flour instead of powdered sugar...lol
