Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Awards Radar as we take a break from our usual entertainment coverage! Also, let's not forget that while Thanksgiving might mean a chance to face stuffings (the food kind) rather than reality (the movie kind), even our friends from New Zealand are hopping on the turkey train. AJC reporter Rosie Manins has fond memories of her first Thanksgiving turkey since moving to Atlanta—talk about a cultural cross-pollination!

What’s more, did you know that the tradition of Thanksgiving dates back to the early 1620s when Pilgrims and Native Americans shared a harvest feast? Fun fact: Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday by Abraham Lincoln in 1863! So this year, as you gather around the table, remember it's about more than just turkey; it's about celebrating our shared histories and the joy of community. Cheers to a feast filled with laughter, love, and a little competition!
