Thanksgiving in Millsberry

Thursday, November 20, 2008 — Even though Thanksgiving is still a week away, many Millsberry citizens are already lined up outside of the Grocery Store.

Storeowner, Harold Ettin, has made it known that this will be the best Thanksgiving Millsberry has seen yet. He's worked extra hard to make sure the Grocery Store is stocked with everything necessary for a Thanksgiving feast.

"I think I love Thanksgiving more than most people," says Harold.

"I like the food, but what I love even more is getting to see friends and family. Well, the food doesn't hurt either," he added.

Harold has stocked his store with some of the finest Thanksgiving food Millsberry has seen in quite some time.

Many Millsberry celebrities were among the crowd waiting in line. Loretta Rivers had been waiting almost an entire day to do her Thanksgiving shopping.

"I have got to get some of this cranberry sauce. My Thanksgiving dinner just isn't going to be the same without it. Yes, cranberry sauce is my weakness. It's a must-have for me," says Loretta.

Others had a larger shopping list to check off.

"I normally do all of my family's Thanksgiving food shopping," says Mayor Trumble.

"I have to find pretty much everything we'll need for our dinner. I don't really mind waiting, because I know the food is going to be worth it," he added.

When asked what his favorite part about Thanksgiving is, Trumble replied, "Definitely the Turkey. I usually end up getting sleepy afterwards though. The nap is a good part too."

"But really, when you think about it, the food is what brings us together. Other than giving us nutrition, that's one of the most important things that food can do," added Trumble.

Hair Salon owner, Tania, was also spotted outside of the Grocery Store.

"Thanksgiving dinner is going to be great this year. All of my relatives are coming in from out of town. Not only am I cooking them dinner, but I'm planning on giving them all a hair styling while they're here. Of course after they do the dishes," laughed Tania.

Even while re-stocking the shelves of his store, Harold could not contain his excitement.

"I'm really pumped about this Thanksgiving," exclaimed Harold.

"Yeah, I recently picked that word up from my nephew. Just trying it out," he added.

If the food is any indication, this Thanksgiving is going to be one to remember.

Hey Dibble, this is kind of off topic or not I don't know but we celebrate thanksgiving because we became independent from the British... what/why do you celebrate? is it on the same day? I'm really interrested!

I dont actually celebrate!

Oh.. I see..Thank you For sharing!

Yeah,my question is why millsberry is doing this Thanksgiving becuase America is the only country that celebrates Thanksgiving.I mean I myself live in America.I mean most people on this site is from England.Anyways,I checked out the grocery store at millsberry and it has EVERYTHING!I mean hello I'm a picky eater and all and they have 2(or more)pages of Thanksgiving food.

I also think its weird that they would celebrate but..we celebrate the 4th of july. and if I'm not mistaken people from the UK don't. I wonder if Millsberry will celebrate holidays we Americans don't have?

Yeah, I dont celebrate 4th July either.

Oh, and they had the presidents election on Millsberry too and UK doesnt even have a president!

Thats true! Do you even have coverage on your televisions there of the elections? I know you have a Queen and Stuff but who exactly is "in-charge"? Isnt it your Prime Minister...Somthing blair?

its cuz there main "base" kind of thing where they keep millsberry and stuff is in the usa so they do it cuz they live in the usa

I think they should incorperate holidays from all the places that millsberry is played.
