15 Thanksgiving Websites to Be Thankful For

Thanksgiving is a wonderful, historically based American tradition that takes a certain level of preparation on any host's part. And even those of us who are thankful for a simple social media fix, it's important - even for a single day - to step away from the keyboard and enjoy time with family and friends. Sorry you geeky introverts! So it's time to get cookin'. You have one month to hone those cooking skills and create a tablescape that your guests will never forget.
