Happy Thanksgiving!

Local Thanksgiving Events

I love Thanksgiving.  It’s my favorite holiday.  No presents, no shopping just cooking!  I make pumpkin pies from pumpkins every year which seem to go over well.  Either that or people are just being nice.

I thought I’d through a couple events up on Thanksgiving for those who are searching for something to do, a place to go, a turkey to eat or not.

Here’s a quick list of the goings on in Sacramento:

Sheraton Grand Thanksgiving Day Buffet

I have never gone out to a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner.  Having said that, if I were to go this year, this would probably be the place I’d end up.  Here’s a link to more info. Click here. I have eaten here before and the food is always good.

32nd Annual MMA/Salvation Army/Marines Toys for Tots Run

This is a favorite of most everyone.  This years event is at Raley Field.  You don’t have to ride a motorcycle to come & donate a toy, bring the kids to see Santa & come put the joy of Christmas into the life of a child who would otherwise not have a Christmas.

I’m always about doing something for children during the holidays.  I’ve run a Coats for Kids collection point for the last 5 years in my neighborhood.  Anything that benefits a child in need is a worthwhile cause.

Be grateful for what you have and give to others.  That’s a great motto throughout the year and especially during the holidays.

Capitol Stage – Every Christmas Story Every Told (And Then Some!)

I’ve heard this is pretty good while I cannot personally say that I’ve ever been.  The Capitol Stage has gotten rave reviews from the SacBee for this comedy.  See below for the narrative from the site.

“One more time! The Capital Stage sell-out holiday hit is back! Part Big Bang, part Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged, Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!) is a fast, fond, and furious look at the holiday traditions we all remember, and a few we’d like to forget. From Tiny Tim to the Grinch, from Frosty to It’s a Wonderful Life, nothing is spared in this rollicking tour de farce!”

Running now through 12/28.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and please be safe.
