thanksgiving day

The NFL's traditional Thanksgiving Day games have football fans excited. If the day has a theme, it could be "grudge match." The Dallas Cowboys have a shot at repairing their pride injured in 1993; Green Bay and Detroit's game has echoes of 1962; and in the final game, two brothers will coach opposing teams for the first time in NFL history.

Gather the whole family and bring them to Austin’s Thanksgiving Day Tradition; the 20th Annual ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot benefiting Caritas on Thursday, November 25th, 2010.

The ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot is a five mile run, one mile walk and Stepping Stone School Kids K. Join over 15,000 Austinites at Texas’ largest five mile race.

Run, walk or jog the distance and enjoy food, entertainment and vendors at this celebration. All proceeds from the event benefit Caritas of Austin.

On Thanksgiving Day last year, Mary Taylor's husband Nelson and her 20 year old daughter Andrea were killed in a collision at the intersection of Parmer Lane and Texas 130.

This Thanksgiving, their seats at the dinner table were empty.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Americans are preparing to serve up turkey and all the trimmings on Thanksgiving Day, but a growing number are choosing to stay out of the kitchen.
