Thanksgiving is coming a little early this year. Many of the buzz staff members and other non-buzz-related friends are celebrating the holiday early for a number of reasons. Many people need more than one day to gobble down turkey, and I can’t blame them. Many students are celebrating early so they can celebrate with their friends in CU before retreating to the Suburbs for a North Shore (or insert the name of your suburb) Thanksgiving. Other community members recognize the immpossibility of schedule synchronization and party-down the weekend before, because many people work retail and food service jobs that require them to work on nealy every holiday.

I, however, am celebrating a premature Thanksgiving with my father’s side of the family because my grandma is having surgery this week. This Sunday I’m whipping up Paula Deen’s buttery recipe for corn casserole and having some quality family time. So, I wanted to use my column this week to wish my Grandma Lois good luck in her quest for a new hip. Please, call your grandparents this week. They’ll love you for it.
