So looks like Thanksgiving is going to be great this year. I now have confirmation that we will have two couples from Toronto, a family of four from San Jose and a friend from Seattle joining us; that makes 12 total.

I must say, I prefer American Thanksgiving to Canadian Thanksgiving. Maybe it is because it starts a four day weekend so more people are able to get together, or maybe it is because it starts the Holiday season (Canadian Thanksgiving is in early October) ... either way, I love American Thanksgiving. We have been doing these Thanksgiving get togethers for 8 years and I think this will be the largest one.

With that many people and no room for Rock Band or Guitar Hero, I decided to pre-order Lips. It is a singing and quasi-dancing game (has motion sensitive microphones) that allows you to use your own music. The game is actually for my daughter (who loves to sing and dance) and I. I just decided to use a people-filled, party-game wanting Thanksgiving as a good excuse to get the game before Christmas.

I want to thank Dan and linda, and Paulo and Gill for taking the time-off to fly down and of course Pete for flying down too. Better get those singing voices and performance moves in place before heading here.
