    Maybe they think that next NYE will fall on a different date. Same applies to people who wait until Christmas Eve to hunt down that year's Turboman.
    Here's one for them - Thanksgiving will be on a Thursday this year. What do you think about that?

      Why the heck would they change it for this year? It's always been a Monday (not sure of the formula, but I believe it's the 2nd Monday in October).

        I also believe that Canadians and Americans have different Thanksgiving dates.

        Of course, being from the Land Down Under, I could be wrong on this

          You're correct. Canadians do observe Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October, while USians settled on the fourth Thursday of November.

              Each Thanksgiving has a major traffic jam at the border crossings as people go to visit family.

              Can you imagine if BOTH countries shared all the same holidays?

              Christmas and New Year's is bad enough.

                So the families that are in both countries get two feast days, while those that don't only get one.

                I'd be jealous, but I don't need all those extra calories.

                  Who says you can't just decide to pick a date to have a nice feast, even if the calendar doesn't think it's a holiday?

                    Pretty much. I have friends with dual citizenship, and while they don't necessarily do it every year, they have used it as an excuse to do two Thanksgivings before.

                      You don't need dual citizenship to have multiple Thanksgivings.

                      My sister and her boyfriend had three this year. They had "Friendsgiving" on Wednesday, Thanksgiving with his family on the day, and Thanksgiving with our family on Friday.

                        We did that for Christmas this year with my family.

                        Christmas Day I stayed home and cooked for me, Mom and Brother. Friday evening after work Brother and I went to our Dad's where our stepmom had cooked a big Christmas dinner.

                        Reason she (my stepmom) decided to do all her cooking on Friday was b/c her elder daughter and family (middle Sis, aka Mud) weren't able to come down from VA until Friday (Mud is a RN and currently with Hospice in the Richmond area) for the weekend.

                        I think we counted 15 at the house that Christmas: Mud, BIL, their 5 kids (ages 17, 14, 10, 4 and almost 2) Dad, Stepmom, me, Brother, Stepmom's younger brother, Stepmom's Dad and Dingbat (my baby sis, aka the Nanny.)

                        Plenty of food, drink (Angry Orchard is some good stuff, BTW) a few rounds of Charades and a good game of Big Bang Theory trivial pursuit (and I've never even watched the show but Mud and BIL twisted my arm)

                        Good time was had by all.

                          Yeah, we played Scattergories with Sis and Boyfriend (well, Dad didn't play; he's not a fan of that game) and had fun. Next year, we'll probably end up playing Fibbage or Drawful since I've bought the Jackbox Games pack for my Xbone.
