So it's a day before Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday.

It's going to be different this year, I know.

For the first time in 20 years, I'm not gathered with the rest of my family.

But I still, I love it.

I know they've tried to infuse commercialism into it with Black Friday. And by the way,

did you see all the stores that are going to be closed tomorrow now? Walmart, Target, Best Buy,

most of the stores, I mean, like stores like grocery stores and CVS and Walgreens, dollar

store, they'll be open. but most of the big stores are

closed. I wish they'd keep it that way. They're doing it for COVID-19. I'd love to keep it that

way because I want the day to be pure. The day itself is just families gathering to give thanks

for the blessings we enjoy as Americans.

It's a very American holiday.
